Fair game rule was repealed in the mid-1970s, although the fact it
existed at all gives the Church a lot to answer for.

Sorry, not anymore.  Now, the only thing you can do is that required to
keep the SP from S-ing you, and is pretty much limited by what's in the
Creed.  Still, the fact that the Church ever believed this is a pretty
strong condemnation of the problems with doctrine.
