If this is not church doctrine, Please inform me when it changed. My original source is the latest "Catechism of the Catholic Church". AS it has been stated It's not, as Ratzinger has recently pointed out, I went to the Vaticans web site to check. You will find it at http://www.vatican.va/archive/catechism/p123a9p3.htm#III. Scroll down until you come to 841.
