Is there any rigorous definition of heresy?

John Milbank said:
>I regard Catholic Christianity as fulfilling the best pagan impulses, heresy as exaggeration or thinning-down of the truth, and nihilism as a parody both of the Christian view that we are created from nothing and that therefore all that is finite is indeterminate, and equally of the likewise Christian view that ordered beauty is paradoxically in-finite.

I've looked over people who were tried for heresy and the reasons invoked, such as with Meister Eckhart, but is there an actual codification of heresies? It seems like there should be, or at least there should be a list of things that are heretical if violated. I see the term getting tossed around a lot where "heterodoxy" would seem to suffice.

This is about heresy, not Milbank, m80. I only used his definition as an example.

If you google "Muh religion" the first result is a definition of Islam, I just thought everyone should be aware of this.

Islam is going through that same phase Christfaggotry went through hundreds of years ago with the Inquisition and the Crusades. If anything, it's just following the precedent Christfaggotry set for that sort of twattery.

As for Scientology, it's literally a sci-fi author's get rich quick scam so I don't consider it a religion.

A OP quote, but the thread is not about his quote, his quote is just an example. I'm looking for a more rigorous definition.

What was wrong with the Crusades, apart from number four? And I don't think you can compare the Inquisitions to things like 9/11

That's patently wrong. The current Islamic radicalism is nothing new. It flares even few decades since the beginning of Islam.

This is such a cop out, though I agree with its logical conclusion, which is that Islam should suffer the fate of Christianity and meet its death.
