Kennedy reminds us that disagreement does not equal division. Even St. Augustine disagreed with other Church Fathers about Genesis. Since it is not a settled matter it is possible to hold either position faithfully. We cannot call someone a heretic simply because they disagree with a saint. Respectful discussion is part of the Church’s life and allows the faithful to wrestle with questions without turning friends into enemies.
