I doubt that certain languages are heretical? šŸ˜ƒ

Just kidding-I know what you mean. I think what i meant by posting this thread was why if we are a universal church, why do we have so many internal splinter groups? For example-SSPX, the splitting of the Franciscans, the Suppression of the Jesuits etc. . . Why do we tolerate so much dissension?

Some people occasionally leave to set up their own Churches. Generally the results have been disappointing. So normally that is done with considerable reluctnace, and as a last resort.

Secondly, the question ā€œhow shouls be live our lives and worship Godā€ is an extremely broad one. There are not always easy answers. Sometimes, as in the case of the Jesuits, you have a partial answer which seems initially to have a lot going for it, but then as the sub-group becomes larger and more powerful, problems become more apparent.
 
I agree with Johnā€¦who agrees with Rome who is guided by Godā€™s own Spirit.

At one point in my faith journey I was a good catholic girl ā€¦my parents got me involved with sedevacantistsā€¦I was then a schismaticā€¦
At another point in my faith journeyā€¦buried with doubt and turmoilā€¦I was a fallen away who did not know what she believed anymore.
Grace began to stir in the depths of my heartā€¦Jesus stood knockingā€¦I answered.
A friend of mineā€¦a fellow Catholic Basherā€¦ converted to the Faith. She asked me to consider the possibility of maybe being wrongā€¦a step further along the pathā€¦
I am sure that for each stage of my spiritual life there is a convenient tag to label it withā€¦but I know that God sees us inside outā€¦no tags attachedā€¦just bare reality.
You are either with Me or against Me.
Be ye either hot or cold for the lukewarm I will vomit from my mouth.
