Simply put, where The Bible speaks, we speak...where it is silent, we are open to our own opinions. Music, the end times, worship are all up to the individuals to come up with! When it comes to doctrine, the congregation must go by the Word of God to see what actions need to be taken.
Copernicus theorized that the earth wasn't the center of the universe and that we revolved around the sun, but the church shunned him. He's probably the most famous example.
Charles Darwin is another good example.
It depends on who you ask. Someone outside the church might call them enlightened or free thinking. Someone in the church might call them misguided. It gets back to a personal relationship with God and the idea that as Christians we are no longer under the law, but under grace. And by the way, churches don't believe. People believe.
Roman Catholic AnswerHeretic "One who, having been baptized and professing Christianity, pertinaciously rejects or doubts any article of faith determined by the authority of the Catholic Church. An unbaptized person or one who repudiates Christianity is therefore NOT a heretic, nor in this strict sense are most Protestants and other non-Catholic Christians, for, never having professed certain truths of the Faith, they cannot reject or doubt them. In so far as they maintain material heresy they are material heretics but incur no guilt thereby. It can hardly be doubted that the vast majority of non-Catholic Christians are in good faith and labouring under invincible ignorance." A Catholic Dictionary, edited by Donald Attwater, 2nd Ed. Rev.An obvious person would be Richard Dawkins.

No. The Protestant Church began as a division away from Roman Catholic Church in the 14th century. The central ideas of the churches are similar, but the Protestant Church has altered the original Catholic Bible and disagrees with some Catholic ideas, such as confession.
Answer from a CatholicI don't think that the Catholic Church has a defined opinion about the ideas and art of the Renaissance as such. I know that many of the Renaissance ideas are humanistic and many of the people at this time were Deists and opposed to the Church. The Renaissance, as a whole, spelled the death of the great Christian Middle Ages and put way too much emphasis on man and not enough emphasis on God.

It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. The period of the rebirth of ancient Greek and Roman ideas was called the Rennaissance (1350-1600).

The printing press, invented by Johannes Gutenberg in the mid-15th century, played a significant role in spreading ideas of humanism. This invention allowed for the mass production of books and pamphlets, making humanist texts more accessible and widespread. This facilitated the dissemination of humanist ideas across Europe during the Renaissance.
