Ok. Here's what I'm getting at in another thread.
The linked chart, at the highest theological note, "Dogma," which is defined as "[a] truth proposed by the Church as revealed by God," gives as an example "all the contents of the Athanasian Creed."
Of course, the AC talks about various beliefs of the Catholic faith, such as the Trinity and the Incarnation. It says, "[w]hosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold the catholic Faith," and "[t]his [i.e, belief in the Trinity, Incarnation, etc.] is the catholic Faith; which except a man believe truly and firmly, he cannot be saved."
The chart says that to deny dogma, hence to contradict "all the contents of the Athanasian Creed," is "heresy," which is a "[m]ortal sin committed directly against the virtue of faith, and, i
f the heresy is outwardly professed, excommunication is automatically incurred and membership of the Church forfeited."
Kindly tell me how what JPII says below doesn't deny the contents of the AC, and how it isn't therefore "heresy" which, by his outward profession, incurred his excommunication:
Normally, “it will be in the sincere practice of what is good in their own religious traditions and by following the dictates of their own conscience that the members of other religions respond positively to God’s invitation and receive salvation in Jesus Christ, even while they do not recognize or acknowledge him as their Saviour (cf. Ad gentes, nn. 3, 9, 11)” (Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue – Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, Instruction Dialogue and Proclamation, 19 May 1991, n. 29; L’Osservatore Romano English edition, 1 July 1991, p. III).
