A "De Fide" dogma is the highest level of Catholic Dogma. Any doctrine marked "de fide" is considered essential to Catholicism and anyone deviating from it is a heretic.
LOL please do not tell me what "De Fide" means.
Any deviation from any sort of Catholic dogma counts as heresy if its done with full knowledge and consent. This includes the entirety of the CCC and the Commandments as well.
But we can say with certainty that anyone who said "this person murdered, therefore they are not a Catholic" would be a "no true Scotsman", correct? The same thing applies here.
Mary Immaculate, star of the morning
Chosen before the creation began
Chosen to bring for your bridal adorning
Woe to the serpent and rescue to man.
Sinners, we honor your sinless perfection;
Fallen and weak, for your pity we plead;
Grand us the shield of your sovereign protection,
Measure your aid by the depth of our need.
Bend from your throne at the voice of our crying,
Bend to this earth which your footsteps have trod;
Stretch out your arms to us, living and dying,
Mary Immaculate, Mother of God.
