I've determined the source of the bug from a previous thread of mine. But I wanted to start a new thread to get the Devs attention.
Any game, saved after Jan 1, 1100, causes your bishops to have no opinion of the pope, and therefore you can not get taxes or raise church levies once you load that saved game.
This is a broken game as a result. How anyone could play a dynasty much past 1100 and not notice this, (unless you never stop playing), is beyond me.
Here is a beautiful game I was playing, and got to thinking that maybe the save process after 1100 was the culprit, and sure enough...

Do to my King's death and the dispersion of his titles to 3 of his children, the King at 1100 only had 1 bishop vassal. After I saved, and restored, during the year 1100, this is the result:
I'm using windows 7 64 bit and the game is in Steam.
So the save process causes it. But why only some bishops (when you have more than one) get the bug and others don't I can't determine.
If you revoke the bugged bishops and insert a new vassal for the cathedrals bugged, the problem goes away until the next save. But you lose credibility with your other vassals in order to avoid a bug.
Possibly the reason players in general don't notice is that every bishop dies and is replaced at some point, and most players don't look at the Religion tab or look at the Vassals tab (how is that possible but ok) from the time they save/restore until the bishops change, so it goes unnoticed.
