Watching that annoying film Dogma made me think about the 
knots Catholics have tied themselves in with their 
conception of a God obsessed with human law. I thought Jesus 
had freed us from the Jewish enslavement to law based 
religion.  
  The infallibility of papal 'ex cathedra' ('from the 
throne') pronouncements was officially codified in 1870 and 
retroactively holds for all Popes back to St Peter.  
However, because no Pope before or since ever said 'I am now 
making an infalliable ex cathedra pronouncement..', and 
because we are all falliable in our judgement of the status 
of papal pronouncements, no one knows what is 
infalliable-and-universal-for-all-time-uncontradictable-by-
Popes-past-present-future and what could legitimately be 
denounced as heresey by the next Pope. But here's one that 
the theologians think holds from now til Judgement Day:

Pius XI, Casti Connubii, 31 Dec 1930,
	'Contraceptive birth control is a grave violation of  
         the Law of God'

 ...           .........       .........

Rabid anti religious propaganda.

"The evil essence of Falun Gong is 
rooted in its cult doctrine, which 
preaches the Falun Dafa (the Basic Law 
of Wheel of the Universe)  - that laymen 
can, through psychological meditation, 
form invisible magic wheels inside their 
bodies, and with the wheels revolving, 
cure their illness and eventually be 
converted into some species of superman, 
obtaining the magic of telepathy and 
teleportation.

"...social disorder..obsessed...deserted 
their families...died hoping for the 
Wheel's salvation...cutting themselves 
open to see whether the Wheels were 
fully formed.."
