Support "National Eat at Chick-fil-A Day": July 25th

[ham]

Liberation Theology has been condemned by the Catholic Church as heresy, never was it a "dogma" of the Church...The Church has always had heretical clergy and lay persons in it...they do not represent the "magisterium of the Church", nor what the Church teaches on matters of faith and morals. "Modernism" was also condemned as heresy...many priests's espoused the virtue of this heresy...some were excommunicated for it. Don't confuse a dissident cleric or bishop, with the teaching magisterium of the Catholic Church. Heretical priests Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and George Tyrell come to mind...as well as Luther.

As I said, the Pope Pio XI excommunicated Fascist and royalist French ACTION FRANCAISE for doctrinary reasons; adherents could not receive the sacraments...Pio XII lifted the ban in 1939...the Spanish civil war had brought anticommunism en vogue...
Was the Pope right or wrong the first or second time?
You cannot dissociate Church and politics.
Nothing prevents one from being a Catholic much as nothing prevents one from being a Conservative or a Liberal or a Labourist...yet you just cannot say that it's gold all that glitters in any party, church or political movement.
As far as majorities go, first you got the Orthodox, then Anglican, then Lutheran churches...
