Heresy
Heresy is the obstinate post-baptismal denial or doubt of a truth that must be believed with divine and Catholic faith.
Heresy is not a generic word for disagreement or an insult for an opponent. Catholic teaching defines it as the obstinate denial or doubt, after baptism, of a truth that must be believed with divine and Catholic faith. It differs from apostasy, the total repudiation of Christian faith, and schism, the refusal of submission to the Roman pontiff or communion with those subject to him.
The Church may judge a proposition objectively heretical because it contradicts revealed dogma.
