A Brief Note on the Use of the Word “Heretic”

[Stand Firm] 03 Aug 2007--How long does the Church need to condemn something? How many councils must consistently and universally agree before one can say, flatly, "This is heresy and those who promote it heretics"? Must there be an infinite progress of Councils re-publishing, infinitely, the same decision on the same matter each and every time it arises? Or, more plausibly and reasonably, once the Church has settled a matter and her decision accords with the Word of God, may we then, finally, rest.
