Yes, technically apostasy refers to infidelity, i.e. adopting a false religion that denies the core essential mysteries, the Holy Trinity and Incarnation.  I think it's often used loosely (and this causes confusion) as applying to someone who formally or officially abandons the Church ... vs. those who continue to show up at Novus Ordo churches while believing maybe 10% of what the Church teaches and that only because it suits them.  I think I saw a number somewhere that nearly half of Novus Ordites question even the existence of God.

That's in fact the S&S position, that one remains a member of the Church unless one either formally renounces the Church or gets kicked out (excommunicated) by name ... and thus their assertion that Joe Biden is actually a Catholic, while SVs are not.
Maybe I’m wrong, but while Assisi would be an act of idolatry it wouldn’t technically be apostasy right?  Like I’d assume the SIN of worshipping with Muslims is different than repudiating Christianity in favor of Islam, at least if we’re being technical which clearly we are here

It's Traddieland, DL.  I am pretty sure I coined the term and probably should have obtained some sort of trademark :laugh1:
You must be Mr. Paul Hernandez, aka Pablo, aka Pablo the Mexican, aka the lay exorcist, aka chief in charge, because I heard him use that phrase near a decade ago.

Just don't bring any marijuana and you're probably right.

We fling this term around a bit too loosely, but here’s an actual example of a formal act of apostasy:



Actually, it would be formal heresy, since he entered a church that still professes to be Christian.

There was an indult dude here that I used to butt heads with all the time (Pete Vere), but I actually liked him: Motorcycles, MMA, hunting, cheap beer, etc.  What’s not to like?

Actually, it’s the fighters on the forum that appeal to me most (2Vermont, Ladislaus, GV, QVD, Pax):

You have to respect an eloquent fighter, even when disagreeing.  At least, I do.
Wow.  OK, now I'm blushing....lol.
