This is the sin of disbelief. Incredulity.
The Catholic Church is the true Church of God. There is no no church like it.It shows us the way to go to Heaven and avoid Hell. No other religion has 'the fullness of truth' according to Vatican Council II. The Catholic Church is the new people of God( Nostra Aetate 2).
The faith needs to be proclaimed since it is part of the one true Church. It cannot be changed.It cannot be altered or denied.When one cannot proclaim the faith, one has to pray for the grace to have it ,to accept and to proclaim it.
We know the Holy Spirit guides the Church to teach the truth. This teaching of the truth is in harmony with Sacred Tradition.It has been called the Magisterium.
But the word Magisterium today is mis-used.So often a Catholic may not know what is the truth especially when it seems false and a sin.
So it is important to study the writings of the past popes and saints,since the truth of the faith does not develop of change.
Just as there are mortal sins of morals which need to to be confessed there are mortal sins of faith which also must be absolved in the Sacrament of Reconciliation with God.
Heresy is a mortal sin of faith.Even if the present- day ecclesiastics encourage it, it still is a mortal sin. 1
One can no longer say that because the pope teaches it it is true.
The present two popes, for whatever reason,have rejected the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and the Athanasius Creed.They have interpreted Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church as a rupture with the Syllabus of Errors and the past exclusive ecclesiocentrism.This is not the work of the Holy Spirit. This cannot be magisterial.
The ecclesiastics do not oppose the powerful Jewish Left lobby which supports homosexual acts, abortion,pornography,immodesty and other mortal sins of morals.The faith on morals is not being proclaimed.
When one proclaims the faith, which never changes, one has the faith.The more it is proclaimed the stronger and clearer it becomes.We have our faith because the Church teaches it. Jesus in the Church.
