My second comment was just referring to the thread in general.I just said that I don’t share your opinion. That’s all…

I don’t think that Lutherans, generally would dispute this role, as described by Orthodoxy. In fact, the Lutheran confessions cite Nicea as evidence of the POpe’s place in the Church.

I think that most Anglicans would agree with that also.

Oh, how far this thread has come!
I will assume that most protestant denominations don’t look at the subject of heresy, because not much was posted about it. I see that some Lutherans and some Anglicans consider the subject, but it must not take up much time in their discussions. I believe we would do well, as the Body of Christ, to look a little closer at this subject. I see too many people (of all Christian affiliations) walking closer and closer to the areas once considered heresy. I guess this is what Cardinal Newman talked about when he referred to “liberalism”.
I despise the relativism that has affected our society and our Churches today. I still love the people, because they are fallen creatures just like myself. But, I see this gradual turn toward relativism as a slippery slope that leads to a place of “groaning and gnashing of teeth”.

I mentioned earlier that you’ll see Lutherans tend more toward the term heterodox. I would not wish to see that term confused with relativism, however. And that’s not to say that we don’t view some teachings by some others as heresy.

Jon, thanks for making me look up another big word!
I now know what heterodox means, I may even use it correctly in a sentence!
I see that heterodox may be a more common way of dealing with doctrine in a non-Catholic setting. Thanks for the info.
