Yeah, I already acknowledged it is a choice, which you'd know had you read my reply. My point, however, is that heresy does not mean "choice", in general. Heresy is a very specific form of choice which most of us will never make, having not been baptized into the Catholic faith.
And to be quite frank, outside of this discussion, I really don't give two shits rubbed together what the Catholic hierarchy thinks about this or that definition. My point in linguistic, not theological. Do at least try to follow.
I don't give two shits, either, even though I was baptized as an infant.
