Quotable From the Catholic Answers Forums...

"Even if the Pope excommunicated you for wearing black pants when your pants were actually dark blue, that doesn't mean the excommunication is invalid. Neither does it mean the Pope has made an infallible statement that black pants are against Church teaching." [Source]

I just saw on CAF that some RCC person semi-rebuked a person whose religion is "Semper Fidelis" (so probably a Romanist) for calling evangelicals as "heretics". How times have changed.

Speaking of priests and black clothes:

Father Ted: That's right, Dougal. You see, ordinary shops sell what look like black socks, but if you look closely, you'll see that they're very, very, very, very, very, very, very dark blue.

Father Dougal: That's true. I thought my Uncle Tommy was wearing black socks, but when I looked at them closely, they were just very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very dark blue.

Father Ted: Never buy black socks from a normal shop.

[Whispers to Dougal]
Father Ted: They shaft you every time!
