CatholicCid Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 In theory, wouldn't a heretic refuse to accept himself as a heretic and say "No..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resurrexi Posted July 7, 2006 Author Share Posted July 7, 2006 Well, any heretic who knows of the dogmata of the Church knows he denys the dogmata of the Church. Therefore, though he would not classify himself as a heretic, he would not say that he denys none of the dogmata of the Catholic Church, unless he is in denial that he denies the dogmata of the Church.

DAF Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Any honest person who wasn't Catholic would accept that by Catholic standards, they were a heretic. It'd be like a Muslim calling me a heretic. "Okay, sure." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The same way you can say you agree with everything in the Bible even if you have't read it all. Once accept the authority of something as coming from God himself, then you trust that something on God's own word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Have you not heard of [url="http://jloughnan.tripod.com/dogma.htm"]"Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma" by Dr Ludwig Ott[/url]? The link provides a summary of 418 items of faith and dogma. This is a fairly well respected book. It would take a lifetime for one to nit and pick over every item of faith to its fullest. Once you buy into Christianity, all you have to do to become Catholic by 'signing a blank check' is believe God set up a church to figure out all these items.... much as He did with the Jews!
