Dear 1stFreedom,

I understand what you're saying, but respectfully disagree. I'm sure Hermann can cite the specific document, the specific pontiff, I can't. I only remember reading the document, posted by a respected, conservative Catholic priest.

For an exhaustive Catholic understanding of this, read this (from New Advent, the Catholic Encyclopedia).
