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.”
And my point which you prefer to ignore (like you prefer to ignore your pope) is that by divine law a public, manifest heretic pope loses his office ipso facto without a declaratory sentence.
For you to tell me that following Catholic principles in living my Catholic Faith is merely “academic” is pathetic.
