Yep can they? Can a pope be “impeached” and tried for crimes against the church and doctrines, and removed? Anybody know if there is any legal way under canon law to remove a pope???

There is a provision in Canon Law — either Article 322 or Article 332 — in which the Curia can vote to depose a pope.

It would seem to me that if the Pope were leading the true Church of Christ, then God has a much better way of getting rid of a bad pope than impeachment.
