Q32 A4: Whether it is lawful to have various contrary opinions of notions?

Yes. Different opinions of the notions are permissible because the notions are not articles of faith.

Anyone may entertain contrary opinions about the notions, if he does not mean to uphold anything at variance with faith.

If, however, anyone should entertain a false opinion of the notions, knowing or thinking that consequences against the faith would follow, he would lapse into heresy.
