useful heretics

According to Stephen Westerholm writing on Augustine, via Martin Downes, heretics can be useful:

1. They compel the Church to Investigate the faith more accurately

2. They compel the Church to Understand the faith more clearly

3. They compel the Church to Proclaim the faith more earnestly
