This note aims to bring together some elements that can contribute to a study not only theoretical but also historical about the so-called phenomenon of the heresy. It is structured in two parts: (i) a collection of some historical and semantic aspects that found (ii) an investigation of what would be, in phenomenological terms, the essence of heresy. It is foundend on the article What is heresy?, writted by Karl Rahner, author of great relevance to heresiology in the twentieth century, though little evoqued in academic circles.
