Pelagius denied the existence of original sin. All men are born into the world in the exact state that Adam was, and as such are perfectly capable of living a completely sinless life by our own will power. Knowledge of this heresy can be helpful in dealing with those who view infant baptism as unnecessary or un-scriptural.

Arianism taught that Christ was not equal to the Father but was a creature made by the Father. This heresy swept through the Church in the 4th century and is the fruit of rationalizing and privately interpreting many Scripture passages.

The Sedevacantist professes that the Seat of Peter is now vacant. Benedict XVI  is a false pope posing as the legitimate Vicar of Christ. Their reasoning is that he, and at least 4 of  his predecessors, have taught and believe heresy, and so automatically are deposed of their office. Their error is private judgment, which when looked at reveals a foundation built upon sand.

Sabellianism taught that the 3 Persons in the Trinity were not distinct persons but rather 3 different modes or offices that the 1 God appeared in. Knowledge of their error is helpful in dealing with those who believe that the Bible is the sole transmitter of the Deposit of Faith. Sabellius broke from Sacred Tradition and it was this that orthodox opponents used to combat him.

Today we begin a short series looking at some of the major heresies that have shown themselves throughout the centuries. Knowledge of these errors will be helpful in any apologetic work. The Judaizers were Jewish-Christian converts who held that the Mosaic law still had to be observed. Knowledge of them helps us understand what St. Paul is referring to in his letters when he says things like:  “For we hold that a man is justified by faith apart form works of the law.” (Romans 3:28)

Much of the scandal and misunderstanding against the Inquisition is rooted in grossly exaggerated numbers and ideas. Many of these myths were recently brought to light by the non-catholic BBC in a documentary called “The Myth of the Spanish Inquisition.”

Many people point to the existence of the Spanish Inquisition as a proof that the Catholic Church could not be founded by Christ. This claim is illogical in itself and also false because it’s based on a false conception of the Inquisition. Today we look at one of the pillars of that false conception: pulling it out of it’s historical context.

The rapture also contradicts Scripture in that it is to take place before the tribulation and that it doesn’t recognize the value of trials and suffering.
