Does the Catholic church regard all teachers from the Catechetical School of Alexsndria as heretics or only some (such as Clement and Origen)?


The Catholic Church does not categorically consider all teachers from the Catechetical School of Alexandria as heretics. The school produced a range of thinkers, and while some, such as Origen, have faced significant criticism and have been regarded as heretical by certain later church authorities due to some of their theological ideas, others from the school have been viewed in a more favorable light. For instance, Clement of Alexandria is often seen as a Christian thinker who contributed to the development of early Christian doctrine, despite being associated with some ideas that later church leaders might have found problematic. The Church's stance on figures like Origen has evolved over time, with some of his interpretations later deemed inconsistent with orthodox teachings. In summary, not all teachers from the Catechetical School of Alexandria are regarded as heretics by the Catholic Church; the assessments vary among individuals and their specific teachings.
