By the way, did you know that you are using the concept of heresy incorrectly?

The origin of the term heresy as you are using it emerged within the Catholic Church, and it specifically referred (and still refers) to someone who chooses a doctrine or set of beliefs that is contrary to the teachings of the Church.

An official Catholic doctrine CANNOT be heretical, BY DEFINITION.

Historicity means nothing to the anti-Catholic crowd if that history somehow supports anything the Catholic Church says.

Actually, the word “heresy” traces its etymolygy to ancient Greece.
