So drink already instead of remaining a heretic.

Fun fact: the Reformers are closer to the theology of the ‘church fathers’ than Roman Catholicism.

Also you didn’t read the article, because the article refutes that lame meme you posted.

Heresy: That “special” moment when you have greater spiritual insight than the apostles, disciples, apostolic and holy fathers and the entire past and present ..

Actually in RC theology "the church" judges the so-called "church fathers" more than they judge her, and it is her who decides who is a valid church father and their teaching. Thus heresy according to Rome can be deciding that you better understand the ancients than she.

And the censure of those who dared contradict the magisterium was basically the response of those who sat in the seat of Moses to the common people who believed in the Messiah that Scripture promised.

Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him? The officers answered, Never man spake like this man. Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed. (John 7:45-49)

Yet in principal this censure also applies to your brethren who think they are the ones to determine the validity of church teaching and pope based upon their judgment of what historical teaching is and means. And it seems that these are the majority of vocal RCs here.

Drink from that delusional swamp of Roman Catholicism??? YUK! No thanks! I will always drink the water of life:

Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again. But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a fount of water springing up to eternal life.” (John 4:13,14)

For the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd. He will lead them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. (Rev.7:17)

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that hears say, Come. And let him that is thirsty come. And whoever will, let him take the water of life freely. (Rev. 22:17)
