How convenient a belief system.   Of course, it makes one wonder why that/those Papal Commissions on the pill were created at all, if the matter were already doctrine. Makes one wonder why a Pope might create such a Commission at all.  If the argument were that the doctrine were created wth the issuance of HV, then that too would raise some pretty serious concerns, would it not?  A doctrine shoved down the throat of a laity that objects...  interesting.

And no, I don't think the abuse scandal is really all that different, for if you say the Spirit presents bishops from contradicting the Word of God, one must wonder then what Jesus really meant when he suggested being cast into the ocean with a millstone around ones neck were better than leading children astray...  No, I think it's the same basic caste of people wanting it both ways, conveniently hiding between terms like doctrine and dogma when convenient, yet quickly brushing off accountability for their failures.
