He is “legally” the Pope - BUT he is hardly Catholic in his beliefs. All that remains is to determine whether Francis (Jorge Bergoglio) is a material or formal heretic. It would not be the first time the Church has suffered at the hands of a pope who was in fact a heretic, or other such faithless scoundrel. Another source explained it thus:

“A material heretic is one who may espouse an heretical position unknowingly - while a formal heretic knows what he professes is contrary to the church (and that would be to the church he claims adherence to, e.g., a Catholic knowingly denying defined dogma.”

Pope Francis may be a combination of the two, depending on which Catholic teaching he presently is attempting to invalidate, either through his scandalous ignorance of defined dogma, or else by his willful obfuscation and distortion of same.

So, while Jorge Bergoglio was in fact duly elected as head of the Catholic Church - to wit: the Pope, yet he is false in his Modernist “theology” and liberal “opinions” (such as his asinine encyclical ‘Laudato Si’).

That makes him a “false Pope” ... Perhaps you would relate better if I used the term “bad pope,” “evil pope,” “heretical pope,” “seditious pope,” or “diabolically orientated pope”?

I'm simply not interested in all the special pleadings and excuses.

Elected as per RCC internal method, the man is the present Roman Catholic "Pope".

It's too late now for excuse making & declarations (mere opinions) that he is --- but he's not.
