Reply To: Denying Chazal = Apikorus?

beninguman: If the person said he will no longer say such a brocha, or discourage his children from saying it, does that affect whether he’s an apikorus/min?

A second question: If someone is a habitual mevaze talmidei chachomim, is he an apikorus? Someone I spoke with said his reading of Rambam Hilchos Teshuva 3:14 indicates that person has a status less severe than an apikorus. But that the Ran holds he is an apikorus. Is that’s a correct reading? And would saying Chazal were anti-women be a form of being mevaze? What about a member of WoW doing their thing at the Kosel every Rosh Chodesh against the universal condemnations of talmidei chachomim from all sectors of Orthodoxy. Would that be being mevaze t”c habitually?
