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.
You are missing my point.
I’m not saying you are wrong.
I’m saying that “automatic” penalties or other provisions in the law are useless.
It’s all well and good to say that Bergoglio isn’t Pope, as long as there is evidence that that is so. And there’s plenty of evidence.
How does that help the Church get rid of him? It doesn’t.
