Liberal or Heretic?
In the history of the Church there
has always been those among her
members who not merely disagree
with her teachings, but even teach
against her doctrines. Our times are
not the exception. They are
“heretics,” and have been around
throughout the Church’s entire
history. A heretic is by definition “a
dissenter from established religious
dogma; especially : a baptized
member of the Roman Catholic
Church who disavows a revealed
truth.” (Webster dictionary)
However, most heretics in our days
reject that name, due perhaps to the
subjective and relativistic climate of
our culture, and rather prefer the
labels progressive, liberal, leftwinger, or other names that have
more to do with politics than with
church teaching. Progressive means,
“Moving forward” (towards what?),
and, “open to new and modern
ideas, especially in politics and
education” (does it matter at all that
these ideas are good, true, and
beautiful, or is their novelty and
modernity their sole merit?). Liberal
means, “not opposed to new ideas
or ways of behaving that are not
traditional or widely accepted”
(however, it seems that nowadays
Christianity is no longer widely
accepted, and therefore a true liberal
person would be an orthodox
Christian). Left wing means more or
less “socialist.” All these terms are
relative and changing over time.
Christian doctrine, on the other
hand, is concerned with eternal
revealed truths, not with passing
opinions. Heretic is the correct
theological term to describe their
position as dissenting from orthodox
Christian doctrine; but who could
expect this modicum of honesty in
people who reject the very existence
of objective revealed truths, or the
idea that the Church teaches these
and not mere personal opinions?
We must make the distinction
between material heresy and formal
heresy. Holding a position against
church teaching, unawares that it is
against revealed truth, constitutes a
material heretic. Material heretics
have a defect in their understanding,
not necessarily in their will;
therefore, they may correct their
position when learning what the
church actually teaches. On the
other hand, knowing what the
church teaches and stubbornly
clinging to an erroneous way of
thinking, constitutes a formal
heretic, that is, one that chooses to
believe an error. Formal heretics are
harder to change their mindset,
because their defect is not in their
intellect but in their will. Arguments
are useless in dealing with these
people. Such “demons” (the errors
in their minds, not the heretics
themselves) can be expelled only by
prayer and fasting.
Truth is not a matter of opinion.
God gave us reason to understand
the order of the universe, wills to
obey this order, and thus use our
freedom to attain happiness.
Choosing to live in a lie will lead us
to utter frustration. Love the heretic
by speaking the truth, and by
praying and sacrificing for him – so
that he may embrace the truth;
embracing his heresy in the name of
“love” is not love, it is stupidity.
