Will, you are wrong. Here's why:
You’re treating preference as if it were a separate source of law. It isn’t. It’s what remains when a household matter admits more than one lawful course and someone has to impose one. That someone is the husband.
The question is not whether she likes the course. No one can command an interior liking. The question is exterior: when a real alternative in the home must be settled, and neither course is against the law of God, may she refuse the act because she would have chosen the other? No. Her disagreement does not cancel a precept that belongs to his office.
Aquinas is clear that inferiors are not the ordinary judges of a superior’s command, and that after the Fall she may have to obey even against her own will. Headship itself is prelapsarian. What the Fall adds is the burden, not the office.
Trent already states the scope: she is to yield in all things not inconsistent with Christian piety, with a willing and ready obedience. “Willing and ready” is the mode. “Not inconsistent with Christian piety” is the limit on the object. Piety is not a synonym for “only the uniquely correct prudential option,” and it is not a wife’s power to reclassify a decision as “mere preference” and walk away.
Pius XI does not repeal that. He specifies it. “Not every wish” excludes caprice and commands with no domestic object. Companion, not servant, and not a minor, exclude child-rule and servant-status. None of those clauses create a veto over a lawful household fork. If two houses, two budgets, two residences, or two legitimate ways of ordering the home are in play, settling the fork is government.
That the husband also prefers one of the options does not empty the precept. That she prefers the other does not empty his office.That is why your graphic does not hold. Once a lawful household choice exists, you already admit he may bind her when she would have chosen otherwise. Calling that “prudence” rather than “preference” does not change the exterior obligation. The act binds because he settled a matter of the home, not because the option was uniquely rational and empty of preference. In the cases that actually constitute headship, “Error A” and “Catholic teaching” name the same thing: his decision binds unless it is against the law of God.
The supposed third box only survives if you treat as the test case a wish with no household object. That is not the definition of marital authority. It is an edge example used to make a real last word look like a blank cheque.
Therefore, on the object of the office—the government of the home—the distinction is without a difference.

@JendersII and @goldpilledshow react to the almost impossibly naive decision to drop violent African migrants into the heart of Belfast, given the city's historical volatility only 30 years ago.

Joe Enders (@jendersii) shows how Catholic philosophy integrated the civilizing wisdom of Plato and Aristotle into the foundation of European greatness.
We look at the intellectual contributions of Augustine & Aquinas to reveal the bedrock of White identity.
This is a great depiction of Genesis 3:15.
A lot of protestants complain about us Catholics using "she" when we discuss the crushing of the snake's head, because it says "He (Jesus) will."
But Catholics use "she" correctly, and it is because through Mary's "yes" the serpent's fate is sealed.
In this image you see Jesus AND Mary doing it together, and this is precisely what the Bible communicates.
The seed of the woman will crush the head. He applies the force, and She, in her boundless humility, allows Him to.
The New Adam (Jesus), and the New Eve (Mary) together smash the same serpent who cast humanity into darkness at the beginning of creation.
Such a beautiful piece of art.

Command Co-founder Joe Enders (@jendersII) is torching the feminized expression of the gospel.
In a Wednesday tweet, he reminded Catholics of what is missing from the Catholic pulpits.
It comes shortly after Pope Leo's strong condemnation of those using God to justify sin.
I am officially, in unison with the entire @CommandMediaTV team, calling on @MattWalshBlog and @michaeljknowles to condemn the heretical claim in this DW article.
It claims God upholds an enduring covenant (referring to the Old) with the Jews, referring to them as God's chosen.

I am taking the middle road on this attack, as I feel it's a basic geopolitical victory if it's not followed by further action.
1. It was REALLY COOL to flex on our enemies abroad by capturing Maduro at his own house ALIVE. Undeniable American aura.
Tom had a catastrophic brain bleed last night. He’s in a coma and the chances of him waking up are next to none.
It feels like something too personal to post on the internet but if you know Tom or not, please just pray for him.
