Quite frankly, I think you and I are done here. Your post repeatedly telling me to go to Rome, snatch Francis’ beanie, proclaim him non-pope and see what happens seems to me like you are just being disrespectful of and belittling my position.
Homey don’t play that.
I am merely pointing out that any discussion of the status of a living putative Pope by a couple of Americans is absolutely, totally abstract and academic.
My exhortation about Bergoglio’s beanie was not intended to be demeaning to you. It was intended to illustrate the pointlessness of AUTOMATIC provisions in the Church’s law.
What is a Pope called who has “lost his authority” due to heresy?
“Your Holiness.”
