"Those therefore who after the manner of wicked heretics dare to set aside ecclesiastical traditions, and to invent any kind of novelty, or to reject any of those things entrusted to the Church, or who wrongfully and outrageously devise the destruction of any of those traditions enshrined in the Catholic Church, are to be punished thus: if they are bishops, we order them to be deposed...."

The Pope hasn't rejected ecclesiastical traditions or invented any novelty.

To say the Pope hasn't rejected any ecclesiastical traditions is to refuse to admit the obvious. And he has most certainly invented novelties. This is a pope who has actively supported the forces which have been wrecking Catholicism for forty years. In fact, precious little of that tradition remains intact--and much of the Holy See itself is anti-Catholic. Do you imagine the Assisi Prayer-for-Peace fiascos were not novelties? Do you know of any other pope who KNOWINGLY supports heretics, elevating them and giving them wide range over Church affairs? This is irrefutable and you and others only look foolish trying to deny what is plainly obvious to anybody remotely objective. This pope shares very little with his predecessors in his theological outlook or policies. Of course, this will be a cue to call those who point this out schismatics, etc. One is not allowed to say the emperor is naked--even if he has no clothes on. But the truth of this pontificate is shown by its fruits--the ruins of this devastation are everywhere--a pervasive loss of faith, scandals without cease with no end in sight.
