Don't call the Holy Father an apostate! You may not agree with him on many things, but that doesn't mean he is an apostate. In fact, many theologians believe that the primacy of Peter means that the Pope can never be an apostate.
He has denied numerous tenets of the Faith while attempting to bring all those still faithful into his heresies.
If it waddles like a duck, and quacks like a duck,....
Let's save this debate for another thread because this one is too important to get pulled.

Sorry for the delay. I had to follow this one back to here. We seem to have a curious situation today with the Pope, who has done many things in contradiction to the Faith of Catholics. We cannot know what is in his heart, however, unless he tells us. We have not heard him say that he willingly rejects the Faith. He has never said something like, "I know the Church has always taught (some doctrine), but I now say this is no longer the Church's teaching" (or words to that effect). Therefore we do not have a clear heresy that would mean he is no longer Pope. But what we do have is things he and his immediate predecessors have done that no pope in history could have gotten away with. So it's not exactly all the pope's fault. Catholics have let it happen, and I have to admit that I am not faultless in this defection.
