And with the advent of Vatican II, even pronouncements that are not infallible must be viewed with the same weight as an infallible pronouncement as it comes from the Pope

Another item for the "you don't know what the hell you're talking about" file. Just simply made up and untrue.

Vatican II also re-affirmed Trent with it's pile of curses against "protestants" or Non-Roman Catholic "christians".

Anathemas are not curses. They are definitions of un-Catholic positions.

Can you quote the passage, because I have on several threads here on FR to the dismay of others. Maybe that's why Vatican II is such a despised document.. and as for what anathemas are:

331   //  anayema  //  anathema   //  an-ath'-em-ah  //  

from   394  ; TDNT - 1:354,57; n n 

AV - accursed 4, anathema 1, bind under a great curse +   332  1; 6 

1) a thing set up or laid by in order to be kept 
1a) specifically, an offering resulting from a vow, which after being 
consecrated to a god was hung upon the walls or columns of the 
temple, or put in some other conspicuous place 
2) a thing devoted to God without hope of being redeemed, and if an 
animal, to be slain; therefore a person or thing doomed to destruction 
2a) a curse 
2b) a man accursed, devoted to the direst of woes

Primary meaning - Accursed or bound under a great curse. Used once in the entire Bible and by Paul. Just a little trivia to go along with the fact lol. dictionary.com full definition listing Care to try again, or are we stretching the bounds of credulity hoping somebody is that dumb?
