2Tim 3, 6-9 So they also oppose the truth

(2Tim 3, 6-9) So they also oppose the truth
[6] For some of these slip into homes and make captives of women weighed down by sins, led by various desires, [7] always trying to learn but never able to reach a knowledge of the truth. [8] Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so they also oppose the truth - people of depraved mind, unqualified in the faith. [9] But they will not make further progress, for their foolishness will be plain to all, as it was with those two.
(CCC 2089) Incredulity is the neglect of revealed truth or the willful refusal to assent to it. "Heresy is the obstinate post-baptismal denial of some truth which must be believed with divine and catholic faith, or it is likewise an obstinate doubt concerning the same; apostasy is the total repudiation of the Christian faith; schism is the refusal of submission to the Roman Pontiff or of communion with the members of the Church subject to him" (CIC, can. 751: emphasis added).
