I atnd confused about your post: "The teachings of the Church". WHAT church are you referring to?
Please re-phrase your post so that we understand just "which" "church" you are referring to.
It is then, that we can reply in an appropriate fashion.
No, an encyclical is not considered infallible in the teachings of the Catholic Church.
The yare expected to obey that teachnigs of the Church because Christ (God) gave them these teachings (The Church is an instrument which God uses to bring people to Himself) and so if you don't obey the Church's teachings, you don't obey God's teachings and if you don't obey God's teachings, you aren't as pleasing to God as if you did obey His teachings (Especially if this is regarding to the teachings of what is right and what is wrong)
No, the Catholic Church 'represents' the teachings of Jesus Christ, the evangelists and the early Church fathers.
The authentic magisterium in the teachings of the Catholic Church holds significance as it represents the authoritative teaching authority of the Church, ensuring the faithful interpretation and transmission of the teachings of Jesus Christ. It serves as a guide for Catholics to understand and follow the teachings of the Church with confidence in their truth and validity.
The Catholic Church maintains its original teachings intact. They do not backtrack.
No, according to the teachings of the Catholic Church, Catholics are not allowed to scatter their ashes. The Church requires that ashes be buried in a sacred place, such as a cemetery or church.
Yes, according to some religious teachings, it is permissible for women to speak in church.
The Catholic Church believes in the teachings of Jesus Christ as revealed in the Bible and tradition. These beliefs shape their teachings and practices by guiding moral principles, sacraments, and the hierarchy of the Church. The Church emphasizes love, forgiveness, and service to others as central to their faith.
Most people would not disagree with following the moral teachings of the Church. They are much the same as those of Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and so on. Many disagree with following the religious teachings of the Christian Church, simply because they believe them to be untrue. If one is a Muslim, Budhhist, Hindu or atheist, then the religious teachings of the Church simply do not apply.
Papal encyclicals are not considered infallible teachings in the Catholic Church. They are authoritative documents that express the Pope's teachings and opinions on various issues, but they are not considered infallible unless they meet specific criteria outlined by the Church.
Hersey is the belief that contradicts basic church teachings! Hope I helped
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Church is the Mystical Body of Christ. The Church exists as Christ's Body to lead people to heaven. So "church teachings" are actually the teachings of Jesus Christ. I think it is obvious, when looked at this way, that it is more than important to follow Church teachings everyday, it is imperative to follow them at all times, as the Church is teaching us how to fulfill our role as children of God.
