Catholic AnswerThe Fundamental Option originally was a theory of morals that a person gradually develops a basic orientation in life either for or against God. This was reflected in St. Augustine's teaching that the human race is ultimately divided into two cities, the City of God, and the City of Man. As such, it is just basic Catholic moral theology. Unfortunately, after the Second Vatican Council, the fundamental option was used to explain mortal sin. In 1975, the Holy See issued a formal declaration, Persona Humana in which certain theories about the fundamental option, as currently understood, were roundly - and completely - condemned. This is covered in paragraph 2089 in the Catechism, "Heresy is the obstinate post-baptismal denial of some truth which must be believed with divine and catholic faith, or it is likewise an obstinate doubt concerning the same... So, according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Fundamental Option, as currently understood, is heresy.
