Japan tells court whaling case is not a 'medieval inquisition'
The Guardian
The Japanese government told the UN's top judicial body it was a court of law, not a "medieval inquisition", as proceedings wrapped up in the whaling dispute between Australia and Japan. Japan used the final day of the three-week hearing to argue the ...

他的 On the Federal Constitution (Speaking before the Convention in Philadelphia, 1787)
I CONFESS that I do not entirely approve of this Constitution at present; but, sir, I am not sure I shall never approve of it, for, having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged, by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions even on important subjects, which I once thought right, but found to be otherwise. It is therefore that, the older I grow, the more apt I am to doubt my own judgment of others. Most men, indeed, as well as most sects in religion, think themselves in possession of all truth, and that wherever others differ from them, it is so far error. Steele, a Protestant, in a dedication, tells the pope that the only difference between our two churches in their opinions of the certainty of their doctrine is, the Romish Church is infallible, and the Church of England is never in the wrong. But, tho many private persons think almost as highly of their own infallibility as of that of their sect, few express it so naturally as a certain French lady, who, in a little dispute with her sister said: "But I meet with nobody but myself that is always in the right."
陳之藩先生引的富蘭克林演說（獨立宣言是（sic）一七七六年。十一年後的一七八七年……）：
「……我承認目前我對於憲法的一些部分不同意，但我不確定未來永不同意。因為活得夠大了。有過許多次這樣的經驗：由於更佳的資料之出現，或更縝密的考慮之湧至，不得不改變已有的看法。甚至在一些重要的話題上，我曾認為『對』的而竟然成了『錯』的。所以年紀愈大，愈傾向於懷疑我自己對於他人之意見所做的判斷。很多人極像許多宗教派別，總認為自己擁有全部的真理。只要其他的與自己有所不同，就是別人的大錯。……可是，雖然許多人與他們的教派一樣以為自己無錯。但很少人像法國一位女士表達的那樣自然。這位女士與他妹妹在爭執當中就說：『但是我從來還沒有見過一個人總是全對的，除了我本人。』

During the 1990s, David Bradford was an important behind-the-scenes player in the inquisition of Microsoft. As general counsel at software maker Novell--where then-CEO Ray Noorda had a positive fixation on the topic--Bradford tirelessly dug up examples of questionable Microsoft tactics and supplied it to government antitrust investigators.

Infallibility of the Pope：教宗不能錯誤性：1870年梵蒂岡第一屆大公會議宣佈：教宗以全教會領袖名義，根據聖經和聖傳，對有關教義（信仰）與道德之事項，以隆重方式 ex cathedra 所作之宣佈不能錯誤（法典749）。至於教宗以個人名義、或對部分教會所作之宣佈、以及非正式之宣佈，均無「不能錯誤性」的保障。此「不能錯誤性」既非不可犯罪性，亦非天主之啟示或感發。
