According to the late Pope John Paul II, the cannon law now reads
CAN.1436
$1. “Whoever denies or places in doubt any truth that must be believed with divine and catholic faith, or repudiates the Christian faith as a whole, and does not come to his senses after having been legitimately warned, is to be punished as a heretic or an apostate by major excommunication…”
$2.”Aside from such cases, whosoever rejects a doctrine proposed, as definitively to be held by the Roman Pontiff or college of Bishops exercising their authentic Magisterium, or else excepts a doctrine condemned by them as erroneous, and does not come to his senses after having been legitimately warned, is to be punished by an appropriate penalty.”
So which “appropriate penalty” will they use, death, like in the middle ages? Is the pope trying to tell me that I will NOT keep the true Sabbath (Saturday) otherwise I will be punished. I suppose a lot of Muslims and even atheists will have a problem with this Canon Law, I certainly do?
