Heresy, or else...

Greetings, sir Latus.
As you have , in your response, expressed something that has caught my
interest, as an objective observant of your correspondence with Najara,
I would like to ask you something, if that I may.
I believe it is not quite correct to brand people heretics so easily (
just because some organizations and even individuals have done so in the
past is not a sign their branding was a right choice, or based on
legitimate reasons ), because one's heresy is quite often someone else's
doctrine and dogma.
But the distinction between the two, the dogma and the heresy, in my
belief. is mainly in the number of supporters of the two, and given
enough time, heresy can become a dogma, unless it is stamped out
completely in its early beginnings.
So, my question to you is, do you believe that something is a heresy
simply because it is different than the doctrine you've been exposed to
until then, or due to a fear that the existing teachings you've believed
in so firmly are maybe not entirely...correct and perfect?
Respectfully,
Aecius Pyroboreus.
Penned by my hand on the 15th of Ero, in the year 429 AF.
