There is no infallibility in the choice of a Pope as far as I know.

And a recall isn’t necessary, if there is manifest heresy I think the Cardinals could declare the see vacant and re-elect. No earthly clue what the process would be on that, but it has generally been accepted as a theoretical possibility.

Just to be clear though, I don’t think Francis is a heretic so much as a gabber who doesn’t consider what he says. I cannot imagine him obstinately holding to a heretical position per se.

So you’re saying his removal is about as likely as a Senate conviction of Obama in impeachment proceedings.

What are examples of heresies that should trigger his removal?
