Such teachings are formal dogma, having been confirmed by the Magisterium infallibly. Heresy is obstinately contrary to truths of divine and catholic faith, and those truths must have been taught by the Magisterium, from Sacred Tradition or Sacred Scripture, under the solemn Magisterium (Conciliar Infallibility or Papal Infallibility) or under the ordinary universal Magisterium. A person must believe with divine and Catholic faith all those things contained in the word of God, written or handed on, that is, in the one deposit of faith entrusted to the Church, and at the same time proposed as divinely revealed either by the solemn magisterium of the Church or by its ordinary and universal magisterium which is manifested by the common adherence of the Christian faithful under the leadership of the sacred magisterium therefore all are bound to avoid any doctrines whatsoever contrary to them.
Then heresy is not any error contrary to the teachings of Sacred Tradition or Sacred Scripture, but only errors contrary to truths requiring divine and catholic faith.Ĭan. A passing remark, an off-the-cuff comment to the press, an extemporaneous sermon cannot be heresy in and of itself. 915 “Those who have been excommunicated or interdicted after the imposition or declaration of the penalty and others obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to holy communion.” What is heresy?Ĭanon 751: “Heresy is the obstinate denial or obstinate doubt after the reception of baptism of some truth which is to be believed by divine and Catholic faith apostasy is the total repudiation of the Christian faith schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff or of communion with the members of the Church subject to him.”Ĭanon 1364 §1: “an apostate from the faith, a heretic, or a schismatic incurs a latae sententiae excommunication.”Ĭan. The Roman Pontiff, Pope Francis, is being accused of heresy for his general audience describing the Communion of the Saints.
