I was going to do a spiel about the Paladin's Dilemma and how Pence failed it by choosing Lawful over Good, but...

No, I'm going to do something else. I'm going to quote Someone he is supposed to obey:

And He answered and said to them, “Why do you yourselves also break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and, ‘The one who speaks evil of father or mother is to be put to death.’ But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever I have that would help you has been given to God,” he is not to honor his father or mother.’ And by this you have invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition.

Matthew 15:3-6
