HERESY

BASIC R.C. BELIEF

A formal denial or doubt by any baptized person of any revealed truth of

the Roman Catholic faith. Heretics are automatically ex-communicated. All

distinctively Protestant teachings are heresies.

From BRIEF AND SIMPLE EXPLANATION OF THE CATHOLIC CATECHISM, R.P. Angel

Maria de Arcos, S.J., "The moment any man publiucly professes heresy, and

attempts to pervert others by word or example, he cannot only, absolutely

speaking, be excommunicated but even justly slain, lest by his pestilent

contagion the ruin very many others."

POST VATICAN II

With the new ecumenical friendliness, Roman Catholics now refer to

Protestants as separated brethren, not heretics. Dr. David DuPleiss termed

this "a wonderful act of forgiveness by the Holy Father" (Candlestick Park,

San Francisco, CA, June 2, 1979).
