Antinomian

[Igel]

9. Antinomianism was a heresy.

That said, it was one particular form of antinomianism.

I know antinomian progressives ("civil disobedience", anyone?) and Xians ("the fourth commandment, nah, that's done away with&quot . It's hard to assign that particular heresy to somebody who has no real chance of being "nomian" or "legalist". The phrase originally applied to God's law, not just any law, but it was easy enough to spread liberally.

Note, though, that those objecting to antinomianism are seldom legalist. Almost every person I've known has been antinomian to some extent; and very few of those who argue against it--for example, here--opt for legalism. Complaining about one feature doesn't seem to imply any kind of appreciation for its opposite.

I don't know of any Catholic that argues that sexually abusing a minor is an okay thing. In fact, the entire argument is that there are laws (with child sex abuse being illegal) but there are also laws in church canon which are also to be respected.
