The Catholic Church allows for heretical Popes. True or false?

Who died and left you hurler of the apple of discord? What is this, "Let's you and him fight?"

Popes may have held heretical opinions but never declared and defined them. They were allowed in the sense that they happened.

But they were not allowed in that there is no canon that says, "Eminent D00ds! Feel free to elect a heretic!"
