I'm not up on the specifics, but I do know that as late as about 1979 the
Vatican came out with a statement saying that the VATICAN AND POPE WERE
INFALLIBLE AND THE ROMAN CATHOLIC FOLLOWERS WERE NOT TO QUESTION THEM IN
THE LEAST (IE. IT WAS A SIN TO DO SO ).  A big stink occured at about that time
with rogue Catholic theologans who questioned Vatican dictates.  I believe
in one case one priest or theologian was ordered by the church to be silent
for a year.  After the year was up the man's first words were something like
like "Where was I now," or "To get back to what I was saying,".  I don't 
know if this was around the same time as the Vatican statement.  I'll say
though I first heard of the Vatican's statement when I was about fourteen
and spent hours in complete disbelief about how anyone could follow such
a ridiculous instituition.  If anyone knows the specifics of the above cases
please post them because I would love to know more about them myself.
