IDK, maybe ask Bruno, or Galileo?

[Secret Agent Man]

Its clear to all

He is a heretic

He needs immediate removal

[TexasGator]

“He needs immediate removal”

Who would remove him?

Savonarola was unavailable for comment.

I don’t know a darn thing about canon law. But if you were to design the very worst pope for these times, you really couldn’t beat the pope we have now.

Is Benedict our last hope? Is he the only one who can step forward, and right this great wrong?

[Chode]

haven’t had a good burning at the stake in a looooong time

> Who would remove him? <

Awhile back I lamented that since Francis rules for life, there is no way to get rid of him. We are stuck with this miserable Bolshevik pope.

No, one Freeper replied. A pope can be removed before his death. I just wish I could remember what he said. Any help out there?

[Old Yeller]

You can’t remove him, he’s the infallible “Vicar of Christ”.

[livius]

That’s the whole problem.

On top of that, he’s either outlasted or gotten rid of those cardinals and bishops who might have opposed him in any meaningful way. As in the current election problem in the US, there’s no leader of the opposition.

Not sure how much stock I put in the St. Malachi prophecies, but if Frankie quits/dies/is removed, it will be interesting to see who replaces him. IIRC, the prophecy talks about the final Pope (paraphrasing) “leading the flock through many tribulations”.

Since St. Malachi calls the final Pope “Peter the Roman”, it will be freaky if he were to take the name of Peter.

“On top of that, he’s either outlasted or gotten rid of those cardinals and bishops who might have opposed him in any meaningful way. As in the current election problem in the US, there’s no leader of the opposition.”

That was done by the cardinals that selected him.

Like someone said. ..burn at the stake

> ... he’s [Francis] either outlasted or gotten rid of those cardinals and bishops who might have opposed him in any meaningful way. <

Out of curiosity, I looked it up. The majority of the voting cardinals have been appointed by Francis. You don’t bite the hand that feeds you. So I doubt if the College of Cardinals would be willing to take bold action against this pope.

[Fai Mao]

Ask Joan of Ark.

[Deo volente]

CWR: Who is competent to declare him to be in heresy?
Cardinal Burke: It would have to be members of the College of Cardinals.

The money quote. There is no way, in my humble opinion, that the Cardinals will ever do anything about this pope and his alleged heresy. Not a darn thing. So it looks like we're stuck with him. Eventually he'll die, or retire.

[Secret Agent Man]

It would be nice to see the faithful laity remove him

Or the cardinals

Tell me why they cant

[ebb tide]

There you go again with your falsehoods.

The apostate actually removed the title, “Vicar of Christ”, from the Vatican “yearbook”.

In Political news:

There is no way, in my humble opinion, that the Ruling Class will ever do anything about Voter Fraud or alleged cheating. Not a darn thing. So it looks like we’re stuck with them. Eventually They’ll die, or retire, but it will not get better.
