Which do you think is a more binding doctrine?

1. The doctrine of the Trinity
2. Hodgepodge 841 quoted above?

Is Jesus God?

LOL Both are binding. Of course, the Bishop does not renounce the Trinity and, yes, Jesus is both God and man.

The poor Bishop is called a heretic for teaching Christian Doctrine when it comes to the God whom Muslims worship.

Now, you have free will to consider as heretical this Bishop who isn't, but shouldn't you be able to show how it is he is a heretic?

2088 The first commandment requires us to nourish and protect our faith with prudence and vigilance, and to reject everything that is opposed to it. There are various ways of sinning against faith:

Voluntary doubt about the faith disregards or refuses to hold as true what God has revealed and the Church proposes for belief. Involuntary doubt refers to hesitation in believing, difficulty in overcoming objections connected with the faith, or also anxiety aroused by its obscurity. If deliberately cultivated doubt can lead to spiritual blindness.

2089 Incredulity is the neglect of revealed truth or the willful refusal to assent to it. "Heresy is the obstinate post-baptismal denial of some truth which must be believed with divine and catholic faith, or it is likewise an obstinate doubt concerning the same; apostasy is the total repudiation of the Christian faith; schism is the refusal of submission to the Roman Pontiff or of communion with the members of the Church subject to him."

*Shouldn't you, as a Christian,be able to illustrate his denial or obstinate doubt about Christian Doctrine before you judge him a heretic?

For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.
