    Since the first pope i think you'll find. He used to worship the sun and the fish god dagon and ...kill xtrians.
    When he realised how big this xctrianity was growing and how fast he decided if you can't eat them join them and so ...he had a remarkable conversionand not only became a xrtian but decided he was going run the show. ...and it came to poass that ...he then conned all the nice xtrian folk by adding sun worship and easter bunnies and all manner of his old religous stuff to the party and basicly destroyed a massive section of christianity. the first pope ...can't remember his name now but i'm sure google could tell you all about him.
    Bit like mrs Thatcher destroying socialism realy ...she knew how hated she had made the tory party so ...she got her son tony to pretend he was labour ...brand new labour even ...and the rest is history.
    This is all from the gospel according to the roll.

    I was thinking more of the time when the Church expanded economically, grabbing land and fighting with princely types to gain control of Europe, the Middle East and even parts of Africa.

    The Papal Infalibility argument is balls, the Pope only has infalibility if he sits on St Peter's throne and starts talking which Popes pretty much never do, Catholics are free to criticise what the Pope says. :)

    Pretty sure I said it was rarely used. Last time it was used was in the 1950's by the Pope at the time (forget who it was) to state that when Mary was done on Earth (ie, about to kick the bucket), God took her up to heaven with her body and soul intact so spare her from dying.

    Regardless, it's early days. We don't know what the Pope intends to do with these new sins. And yes, Catholics are free to criticise what the Pope says, but they pretty much have to accept when the church decides on things like what dictates whether a person goes to hell or not.

    Does this include same sex experimentation?

    If so, I'll probably need a new hobby.
    Damn, foiled again.

    My housemate has just informed me that he has just committed genetic manipulation for the sake of his disertation.

    Probably was if he tried to expand a religion that was punishable by death in the Roman Emperor till the 4th Century AD. The zenith of Papal expansion happened between the pontificates of Gregory VII and Innocent III c.1075-1300, before that the Papacy was a minor player in Europe.
