Pedo man BAD
Belief that spits the Church might be Schismatic, but isnāt automatically heretical.
A diversity of opinion on things is allowed in the church, provided it doesnāt go against official doctrine. For instance the Catholic Church has expressed a dislike of Teilhard De Chardinās views, but theyāre not heresy.
Saying the Pope outright isnāt Catholic is possibly Heretical, but definitely Schismatic. Being Eastern Orthodox isnāt heretical (as of a decade or so ago.) but is Schismatic.
this particular heresy isnt heresy because we decided its not heresy
even if we said it was heresy for centuries its definitely not heresy now because we say so.
yes these are definitely logical beliefs built upon a factual foundation and not at all an arbitrary demarcation of in-group amd out-group. calling it thats heresy!
Well, in the case of Eastern Orthodox it was a misinterpretation of theology caused by translation errors from Greek to Latin.
Similarly with Joan of Arcās conviction being overturned or Gaileo being absolved. The Church admitted the error.
It takes a few centuries, but the Catholics do, eventually, after much bloodshed and awfulness, admit when they were wrong.
yes im sure its very comforting to all the heretics thats have been murdered for their heresy that they arnt actually heretics.
heresies do get accepted and folded into the orthodox structure, and that may happen after many years or immediately depending on the politics of the time, but any departure from traditional belief is heresy until that belief is the tradition.
declaring the catholic pope to not be catholic is absolutely heresy
