	Heresy
		This canon is saying that once a person willingly repudiates Christ, embraces a heresy, knowing it to be contrary to divine and Catholic faith, or refuses submission to the Roman Pontiff (or communion with the members of the Church subject to him), by virtue of the law itself they are automatically excommunicated.
		Thus, the person who is objectively in heresy is not formally guilty of heresy if 1) their ignorance of the truth is due to their upbringing in a particular religious tradition (to which they may even be scrupulously faithful), and 2) they are not morally responsible for their ignorance of the truth.
		This means that someone who has formally separated himself from the Church through heresy or schism, or knowing the Church to be true failed to enter her, cannot be saved, unless of course they renounce their own will and reconcile with the Church.

	Aryan or American?
		"Arian" was first used to describe a heresy in the Christian church which arose about 325 A.D. Arius preached that Christ was not divine, which contradicted general beliefs, at the time.
		Americans, generally, have referred to themselves as Anglo-Saxons, over the years, referring to the British and Germanic origins of the nation and people.
		A term which meant more than "I was born here" or "I served in uniform." Something to say, "I fight for the American nation, the American people and the American way of life." Some picked "patriot," "militiaman," "rightist," "America Firster," "Minuteman," "Americanist," "anti-communist," "Bircher," "Nationalist" or any number of labels to describe themselves.

	St John The Evangelist
		John celebrated the Christian Pasch on the 14th day of the moon, agreeing as to time with the Jewish passover; but was so far from holding the Jewish rites of obligation in the New Law, that he condemned that heresy in the Nazarites.
		St John The Evangelist, who is styled in the gospel, The beloved disciple of Christ," and is called by the Greeks "The Divine," was a Galilean, the son of Zebedee and Salome, and younger brother of St. James the Great, with whom he was brought up to the trade of fishing.
		John, directed by the instinct of love, knew him and gave notice to Peter: they all dined with him on the shore; and when dinner was ended, Christ walked along the shore questioning Peter about the sincerity of his love, gave him the charge of his church, and foretold his martyrdom.

	Saints of December 27
		Written later than the Synoptic Gospels, the Gospel of John is highly theological and stresses the divinity of Christ, possibly as a counter to the Docetist heresy.
		John denounced the claims of Henry to ecclesiastical supremacy from the pulpit, was arrested in December 1538, imprisoned at Westgate, and when he reiterated his condemnation of the Act of Supremacy, was hanged, drawn, and quartered at Canterbury before December 1539 (Benedictines, Delaney).
		John was the son of Zebedee and Salome, and the younger brother of James the Great.

		Yes, but I don't think we are on a madreiga where we can speculate that the Holocaust or anything else is divine retribution for a particular aveira.

	The United Religions Organization
		In this way, the goals and work of the United Nations shall be solidified and a new Church of God, led by all the religions and by all of the spiritual groups, shall put an end to the great heresy of separateness.’ 1.
		Robertson’s political action organization, Christian Coalition, defends his endorsement of ECT because its objective is to fulfill the Church’s “responsibility for the right ordering of civil society.” 40.
		Given the ramifications of a global religious system modeled after the United Nations, which would be under the control of the papacy, and is designed to evolve into a universal religion of pantheism, it seems unthinkable that proposals for religious unity would also be arising from official quarters inside the evangelical community.

		For the first time in history, the divine had become one, though with a complementary multiplicity so that the mass of divine forms was reduced to thesingle manifestation of the Aten.
		This last heresy in particular was to bring down on Akhenaten and his immediate successors the opprobrium of later kings.
		However, the idealized image of transfigured divinity, which was the objective of the funerary masks, precluded the individualization of masks to the point of portraiture.

	Oxford Scholarship Online: Abelard and Heloise
		This chapter examines Abelard's first major writing about the divine Trinity, the Theologia 'Summi boni', written in 1119-20 and condemned as expounding heresy at the Council of Soissons in 1121.
		He applies his theory of language to words used about God to explain how Christians can speak of three divine persons as names given to signify different attributes of God, namely his power, wisdom and goodness.

	OCA - Feasts and Saints: Life of Saint
		The Fourth Ecumenical Council had condemned the Monophysite heresy, which falsely taught that in the Lord Jesus Christ there was only one nature (the divine).
		The struggle of Orthodoxy with heresy was particularly difficult because in the year 630, three of the patriarchal thrones in the Orthodox East were occupied by Monothelites: Constantinople by Sergius, Antioch by Athanasius, and Alexandria by Cyrus.
		The imperial throne was eventually occupied by his grandson Constans II (642-668), an open adherent of the Monothelite heresy.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Incarnation
		The Incarnation implies three facts: (1) The Divine Person of Jesus Christ; (2) The Human Nature of Jesus Christ; (3) The Hypostatic Union of the Human with the Divine Nature in the Divine Person of Jesus Christ.
		The condemnation of the heresy of Nestorius saved for the Church the dogma of the Incarnation, "the great mystery of godliness" (1 Timothy 3:16), but lost to her a portion of her children, who, though dwindled down to insignificant numbers, still remain apart from her care.
		v, in P. We have treated the fact of the Incarnation, that is, the fact of the Divine nature of Jesus, the fact of the human nature of Jesus, the fact of the union of these two natures in Jesus.

	Newman Reader - Heresy of Apollinaris
		[Thus Arianism and Sabellianism, though diametrically opposed to each other in a drawn-out scheme of doctrine, substantially agree together, and are contrary to the Catholic Faith, inasmuch as the True Faith asserts or admits the existence of mysteries in any human view of the Divine Nature, and both heresies virtually deny it.
		Again, the Platonic doctrine of the Logos [endiathetos] and [prophorikos], the Word conceived in the mind and the Word spoken, a Divine attribute and a Divine energy, leads either to Sabellianism or to Arianism;—to Sabellianism, since the Divine Word, Endiathetic, is not a Person; to Arianism, since the Personal Word, Prophoric, is not strictly Divine.
		As we know that the party of Valentinus were not Sabellians, it is probable that it was the Timotheans who favoured Sabellius, and the Valentinians who inclined towards Arianism.

	The Ecumenical Councils of the Roman Catholic Church
		ACTION: Called by Emperor Constantine IV, and its calling authorized by Pope St. Agatho, this council Condemned the heresy of the Monothelites ( Mono- one thelema -will), which attributed only one will, to Christ (the divine), instead of two wills (divine and human), which two are in perfect accord within the one divine person, Jesus.
		This council Condemned the heresy of Macedonius by clearly defining the divinity of the Holy Ghost: He is not created like the angels no matter how high an order is attributed to such a "creature." The council also Reaffirmed the faith of Nicaea.
		Vatican Council II was the only Council out of 20 Ecumenical Councils that specifically did not intend to implore that special protection from the Holy Ghost to be infallible and therefore the Vatican Council II is quite fallible.

	Monothelitism
		The Council of Chalcedon had declared that "Christ has two natures." This was now amended by the Council of Constantinople, which declared that Christ had two wills, his human will being subject to his divine will.
		Because the writings of Honorius had contributed to the spread of this teaching, he also was condemned, although he was not accused of the formal teaching of heresy.
		Emperor Heraclius attempted to reconcile the monophysite bishops, who held that the human and divine natures in Christ were fused together to form a third, by offering in his ecthesis (statement of faith) in 638 the view that Christ worked through a divine - human energy.

	Michael Scanlon, OSA
		So some of these monks modified this doctrine to find some place for what we do for our salvation, and they came up with the heresy we now call "Semipelagianism," a heresy attacked vigorously by some Augustinian theologians who had it condemned by the Council of Orange in 529, again with papal approval.
		Augustine himself had anticipated this new Pelagian heresy in his theology of "prevenient grace," which provided the orthodox answer Orange used against Semipelagianism.
		The lesson taught by Orange is clear - divine efficacy and human efficacy are never to be placed on the same level; divine primary causality is always the ground of creaturely secondary causality.

		It reformed discipline and condemned the heresies of: 1) ALBIGENSIANISM (NEO-MANICHEANISM), which opposed marriage and all sacraments and belief in the resurrection of the body; 2) WALDENSIANISM (anti-clerical heresy), which claimed that laymen living an apostolic life could forgive sins, while a priest in the state of sin could not absolve.
		The remaining tasks begun by Pope Pius IV were continued by his successor, Pope St. Pius V (1566 - 1572): reforming of the Missal and Brieviary, writing of the Catechism based on the decrees of Trent, appointing a commission to issue a more exact edition of the Vulgate, and the reforming of morals.

	THE TITANS
		Heinrich Zimmer has called the preemption of divine prerogatives and confusion of human and divine attributes the "heresy of Titanism," and it could be that the deification of Gautama, K rishna, Mah avira, Jesus, and other religious figures may constitute a form of spiritual Titanism.
		His Promethean challenge is that "the fundamental project of human reality is that man is the being whose project is to be God." The violation of the Hebraic principle is complete: human beings are exhorted to take over divine prerogatives and divine attributes.
		Humanism arose during the so-called "axial period," and it is commonly observed that while Western people generally responded to the discovery of human individuality by externalizing their new desires in a positive way, the Indians turned inward in an attempt to reconcile anxieties caused by an increased awareness of the self-world split.

	Nestorianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nestorianism as a Christological heresy originated in the Church in the 5th century out of an attempt to rationally explain and understand the incarnation of the divine Logos, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity as the man Jesus Christ.
		Nestorianism is the Christian doctrine that Jesus existed as two persons, the man Jesus and the divine Son of God, rather than as a unified person.
		Nestorianism teaches that the human and divine essences of Christ are separate and that there are two persons, the man Jesus Christ and the divine Logos, which dwelt in the man. Thus, Nestorians reject such terminology as "God suffered" or "God was crucified", because they believe that the man Jesus Christ suffered.

	Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol. I
		"There must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest." In the divine economy of Providence it was permitted that every form of heresy which was ever to infest the Church should now exhibit its essential principle, and attract the censures of the faithful.
		It was during this persecution that Irenaeus was sent to Rome with letters of remonstrance against the rising pestilence of heresy; and he was probably the author of the account of the sufferings of the martyrs which is appended to their testimony.
		But he had the mortification of finding the Montanist heresy patronized by Eleutherus the Bishop of Rome; and there he met an old friend from the school of Polycarp, who had embraced the Valentinian heresy.

	Amazon.com: Books: Maximus Confessor: Selected Writings (Classics of Western Spirituality)
		During the seventh century when the monothelite heresy (belief that Christ had only one will-----a divine one) plagued the Church, Maximus eloquently demonstrated that Christ had both human and divine natures.
		Maximus the Confessor lived during the time when the eastern half of the One Holy Apostolic Catholic Church was battling a heresy called the Monothelite controversy dealing between the unity or duality of will in relation to nature.
		Maximus' greatness lies in the fact that he was not only a brilliant theologian, but an equally accomplished philosopher, as well as a great ascetic and spiritual master of the Eastern Orthodox monastic and hesychastic tradition.

	White is Wrong (This Rock: April 2001)
		Monothelitism held that there was one will and operation-a divine one-in Christ, while Catholic teaching is that there were two wills and operations-divine and human-in Christ.
		By agreeing to a rule of silence instead of issuing a rule or definition of faith, Honorius left the monothelite patriarchs of the East an opening to further insinuate the heresy among the faithful.
		White has offered no evidence based on the substance of Honorius' letters that this pope taught heresy, the pope's letters were known to a select few Eastern bishops, not to the faithful at large, and thus were hardly the instrument to convey a dogmatic definition.

	International Catholic University: 29.7
		This is the context in which, according to Redondi, the Pope seeks to deflect the charges of eucharistic heresy by ordering a trial based on Galileo's defense of Copernican astronomy.
		Barberini defended the view that, given God's omnipotence and omniscience, we ought not to "bind divine power and wisdom" by claiming that any human science knows for sure the way things are.
		Pietro Redondi, whom I mentioned before, thinks, howcver, that the trial was a kind of theatre of shadows orchestrated by Pope Urban VIII to protect his friend Galileo, and himself, from far more serious charges of Eucharistic heresy.

	Christine Caldwell Ames Does Inquisition Belong to Religious History? The American Historical Review, 110.1 The History Cooperative
		Some laypeople agreed that heresy inquisitions could be conducted justly, and that the perfectly sincere Christian could adopt violence as religious duty, but were in emphatic discord that inquisitors were the sole, inerrant agents of divine justice.
		The inquisitor Bernard Gui described the execution of two Dolcinite heretics with precisely this juxtaposition of earthly and divine punishment: "relinquished to secular judgment to be punished with death...
		These events thus gesture toward the common inquisitorial problem of discernment: the constant, troubling need to discriminate true piety from false, alliances with God from those with the devil, orthodoxy from heresy.

	Christian Order - Read - Editorials - November 2004
		The expulsion of the divine and miraculous and supernatural from history, especially Biblical history, therefore, is just as vital to ecclesiastical liberals, for whom Vatican II’s Conciliar Revolution approximates the French Revolution.
		Paralleling their secular counterparts, these clerical progeny of 1789 are masters of distorting Church history in such a way as to disparage Catholic tradition and its defenders for their own Modernist ends, all the while presenting themselves as loyal sons of the Church and portraying postconciliar heresy, dissolution and decay as progress and renewal.
		For if the licentious liberal ticket to ignore the precepts of the Decalogue and the natural law is not to be invalidated, God and any sense of the divine or miraculous or supernatural must be driven from the public square and excluded from science and history.

		GOD, who didst strengthen thy blessed Confessor and Bishop Saint Cyril, invincibly to maintain the divine motherhood of the blessed Virgin Mary : vouchsafe that at his intercession we, believing her to be indeed the Mother of God ; may as her children rejoice in her protection.
		For he was concerned with the Nestorian heresy from its inception, and denounced the same to Saint Pope Celestine I, and at the Council of Ephesus in 431, at which the heresy was solemnly condemned, he presided as the representative of the Holy See.
		And the rest of his life was given over to the defense of the truth that in Christ Jesus there is one divine Person.

	St. Sophronius
		He was no sooner established in his see, than he assembled a council of all the bishops of his patriarchate, in 634, to condemn the Monothelite heresy, and composed a synodal letter to explain and prove the Catholic faith.
		The emperor Heraclius confirmed it by an edict called Ecthesis, or the Exposition, declaring that there is only one will in Christ, namely, that of the Divine Word: which was condemned by pope John IV.
		Athanasius, patriarch of the Jacobites or Eutychians, in Syria, acknowledged two distinct natures in Christ, the divine and the human; but allowed only one will.

		Pope Honorius wrote a letter approving the heresy of the Patriarch Sergius of Constantinople, monothelitism, which held against the doctrine of the human and divine natures of Christ that there was only a single will in Christ.
		St. Sophronius called a council to combat the heresy, at which the constant teaching of the Church on the two natures, human and divine, in Christ was demonstrated.
		Pope Honorius in reply reproved the orthodox Catholic patriarch and enlisted the help of the heretical emperor Heralitus.
