BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, I TELL YOU THE TRUTH.
Heresy is not unbelief. It is a choice, whereby a man makes choice of what he deems best instead of following Christ in the Church He established. The Church established was the Catholic Church.
He that holds the Christian Catholic faith aright, assents, by his will, to Christ, in those things which truly belong to His doctrine, in the church.
A heretic is one who either devises or follows false and new opinions, it is of pride rather than of unbelief. In matters of faith, the will assents to some truth, as to its proper good, but refuses to receive all truth. He intends to assent to Christ, yet he fails in his choice of those things wherein he assents to Christ, because he chooses not what Christ really taught, but the suggestions of his own mind.
