You may well be correct with regards to canonical penalties, but this seems
a rather peculiar reading of the obligations described in _Lumen Gentium_ .
I doubt the list is the place to discuss the fine points of Catholic
teaching on the matter, much less debate them, but I did want to point out
for the sake of non-Catholics listening in, that many would disagree that
the (RC) Church expects Her members to do no more than "keep quiet" about
Magesterial teachings. I don't think we are as legalistic as all that.
