    • 2018 November 22, John Hayward, "Give Thanks To What Remains Of Free Speech", Breitbart.com[1]
      The principle remains the sane: the horizons of acceptable speech must contract because authority must not be questioned and dogma must not be challenged.

    In the Catholic Church, new dogmas can only be declared by the pope after the extremely rare procedure ex cathedra to make them part of the official faith.
