"The Catholic Church allows heretical Popes." My work is done if I show it has had one. Is that ok with you?
Ambiguous use of the word "allow".

1. If the Catholic Church did not "allow" a heretical Pope there would be none included in the List of Popes.
2. If the Catholic Church did "allow" heretical Popes the list might include a Pope convicted of heresy to be included in the List of Popes.
Is such a heretical Pope listed?
