St. Thomas defines heresy as “a species of infidelity in men who, having professed the faith of Christ, corrupt its dogmas.” God allows His faithful to be exposed to heresy in order to test their Faith, their docility, and obedience to Catholic authority. At Baptism we receive the theological virtue of Faith, which is a supernatural light for our intellect, which enables us to “see” the truths that God has revealed through His Church, or as Father Feeney so simply put it, “to think the thoughts of God.” A person, therefore, bearing within him this infused light, will immediately recognize pernicious doctrine for the darkness that it is. Religious errors, on the other hand, are not necessarily opposed to the virtue of Faith. A validly baptized person may for a period fall into a material error on account of a misrepresentation of Catholic doctrine, or outright misinformation, and be innocent of the sin of heresy. He made be told, for example, that Catholics worship Mary as God, and then he would be in error about what Catholics believe. The providence of God will be sure to provide this person an opportunity, be it by way of a book or a Catholic acquaintance, to hear the truth. Then, if he cooperates with the light of Faith that is in him, he would be bound to accept the truth and seek out the full teaching of the Church. If as the saying goes “contrast clarifies the mind,” then by studying the Church’s battles against heresies throughout her history, a Catholic can fortify his own Faith. The articles falling under this category are such. They are part of the library of the Church Militant as guardian of the truth and refuter of all heresies." /> <meta property="og:url" content="https://catholicism.org/category/heresies-and-errors" /> <meta property="og:site_name" content="Catholicism.org" /> <meta property="og:image" content="https://catholicism.org/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2017/02/screenshot.png" /> <meta property="og:image:width" content="600" /> <meta property="og:image:height" content="450" /> <meta property="og:image:type" content="image/png" /> <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image" /> <meta name="twitter:site" content="@sbc_catholic" /> <script type="application/ld+json" class="yoast-schema-graph">{"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://catholicism.org/category/heresies-and-errors","url":"https://catholicism.org/category/heresies-and-errors","name":"Heresies and Errors Archives - Catholicism.org","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://catholicism.org/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://catholicism.org/category/heresies-and-errors#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https://catholicism.org/category/heresies-and-errors#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https://catholicism.org/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2024/12/SH-3A_Sea_King_hovers_over_the_damaged_USS_Liberty_AGTR-5_on_8_June_1967_USN_1123118.jpg","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https://catholicism.org/category/heresies-and-errors#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https://catholicism.org/category/heresies-and-errors#primaryimage","url":"https://catholicism.org/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2024/12/SH-3A_Sea_King_hovers_over_the_damaged_USS_Liberty_AGTR-5_on_8_June_1967_USN_1123118.jpg","contentUrl":"https://catholicism.org/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2024/12/SH-3A_Sea_King_hovers_over_the_damaged_USS_Liberty_AGTR-5_on_8_June_1967_USN_1123118.jpg","width":1000,"height":513},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https://catholicism.org/category/heresies-and-errors#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://catholicism.org/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Heresies and Errors"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://catholicism.org/#website","url":"https://catholicism.org/","name":"Catholicism.org","description":"An online journal edited by the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Richmond N.H.","publisher":{"@id":"https://catholicism.org/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://catholicism.org/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://catholicism.org/#organization","name":"Catholicism.org","url":"https://catholicism.org/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https://catholicism.org/#/schema/logo/image/","url":"https://catholicism.org/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2017/02/screenshot.png","contentUrl":"https://catholicism.org/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2017/02/screenshot.png","width":600,"height":450,"caption":"Catholicism.org"},"image":{"@id":"https://catholicism.org/#/schema/logo/image/"},"sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/SaintBenedictCenterPage/","https://x.com/sbc_catholic","http://www.youtube.com/mancipia"]}]}</script>  <link rel='dns-prefetch' href='//stats.wp.com' /> <link rel='dns-prefetch' href='//maps.googleapis.com' /> <link rel='dns-prefetch' href='//v0.wordpress.com' /> <link rel='dns-prefetch' href='//widgets.wp.com' /> <link rel='dns-prefetch' href='//s0.wp.com' /> <link rel='dns-prefetch' href='//0.gravatar.com' /> <link rel='dns-prefetch' href='//1.gravatar.com' /> <link rel='dns-prefetch' href='//2.gravatar.com' /> <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Catholicism.org » Feed" href="https://catholicism.org/feed" /> <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Catholicism.org » Comments Feed" href="https://catholicism.org/comments/feed" /> <script type="text/javascript">(function() {"use strict";const vps = JSON.parse(`["gg"]`);window.dike_plc=(i,d,e=!1)=>{const n=i+"-*";return-1!==vps.indexOf(d)||void 0!==window.dike_tvb&&(-1!==window.dike_tvb.indexOf(d)||-1!==window.dike_tvb.indexOf(n))||(e&&(window.location.href="https://catholicism.org/wp-admin/index.php?page=dike_wpd&author="+i+"&failed_lic_check="+i+"-"+d),!1)};})();</script><link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Catholicism.org » Heresies and Errors Category Feed" href="https://catholicism.org/category/heresies-and-errors/feed" /> <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ window._wpemojiSettings = {"baseUrl":"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/15.0.3\/72x72\/","ext":".png","svgUrl":"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/15.0.3\/svg\/","svgExt":".svg","source":{"concatemoji":"https:\/\/catholicism.org\/wp-includes\/js\/wp-emoji-release.min.js?ver=6.7.2"}}; /*!

class="category-archive-meta"><p>“For there must be also heresies: that they also, who are approved, may be made manifest among you” (<a href="http://www.drbo.org/cgi-bin/d?b=drb&bk=53&ch=11&l=19&f=s%22" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">1 Corinthians 11:19)</a>. St. Thomas defines heresy as “a species of infidelity in men who, having professed the <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05752c.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">faith</a> of <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08374c.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Christ</a>, corrupt its dogmas.” God allows His faithful to be exposed to heresy in order to test their Faith, their docility, and obedience to Catholic authority. At Baptism we receive the theological virtue of Faith, which is a supernatural light for our intellect, which enables us to “see” the truths that God has revealed through His Church, or as Father Feeney so simply put it, “to think the thoughts of God.” A person, therefore, bearing within him this infused light, will immediately recognize pernicious doctrine for the darkness that it is.</p> <p>Religious errors, on the other hand, are not necessarily opposed to the virtue of Faith. A validly baptized person may for a period fall into a material error on account of a misrepresentation of Catholic doctrine, or outright misinformation, and be innocent of the sin of heresy. He made be told, for example, that Catholics worship Mary as God, and then he would be in error about what Catholics believe. The providence of God will be sure to provide this person an opportunity, be it by way of a book or a Catholic acquaintance, to hear the truth. Then, if he cooperates with the light of Faith that is in him, he would be bound to accept the truth and seek out the full teaching of the Church.</p> <p>If as the saying goes “contrast clarifies the mind,” then by studying the Church’s battles against heresies throughout her history, a Catholic can fortify his own Faith. The articles falling under this category are such. They are part of the library of the Church Militant as guardian of the truth and refuter of all heresies.</p> </div> </header> <div class="clear"></div> <article id="post-79343" class="post-79343 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-columns category-heresies-and-errors category-history"> <header class="category-entry-header"> <img class="category-post-thumbnail" src="https://catholicism.org/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2024/12/SH-3A_Sea_King_hovers_over_the_damaged_USS_Liberty_AGTR-5_on_8_June_1967_USN_1123118-275x235.jpg" /> <h2 class="entry-title category-entry-title"> <a href="https://catholicism.org/the-history-of-the-uss-liberty-as-told-to-candace-owens-by-survivor-phil-tourney.html" title="Permalink to The History of the USS Liberty as Told to Candace Owens by Survivor Phil Tourney" rel="bookmark">The History of the USS Liberty as Told to Candace Owens by Survivor Phil Tourney</a> </h2> <div class="entry-meta category-entry-meta"> <div class="dateauthor"> <i class="fa fa-clock-o" aria-hidden="true"></i> <time class="entry-date" datetime="2024-12-14T07:47:05-05:00">Dec 14, 2024</time><span class="by-author"> <span class="sep"> </span> <span class="author vcard"><i class="fa fa-user" aria-hidden="true"></i> <a class="url fn n" href="https://catholicism.org/author/bam" title="View all posts by Brother André Marie" rel="author">Brother André Marie</a></span></span> <span class="author"> <i class="fa fa-comments" aria-hidden="true"></i> <a href="https://catholicism.org/the-history-of-the-uss-liberty-as-told-to-candace-owens-by-survivor-phil-tourney.html#comments"><span class="dsq-postid" data-dsqidentifier="79343 https://catholicism.org/?p=79343">9</span></a> </span> </div> </div> <div class="comments-link"></div> </header> <div class="entry-content category-entry-summary"> <p>Candace Owens has interviewed USS Liberty survivor Phil Tourney.
