“...regardless of status he is both...”
Thank you - this is the exact the point I was trying to make - Francis is a heretic and therefore a de facto anti pope- his official “status” is a separate issue that will be hashed out in history. The error he is teaching in AL is for now, a separate matter from his office of Pope that he still holds as placeholder, error or no, and therefore the papacy itself is not vacant, errors and all are included with him at present. This might change of course ....
My post #73 was written only to point out that Honorius I was Pope and was recognized to have taught error; the office does not magically cause a Pope to automatically be error free. Pope Honorius I’s error was confirmed at a Council after the fact, and I suspect that is the scenario that will play out here regarding Francis.
Blessed Advent greetings!
Honorius is not the same situation as Francis at all. You should read more about it.
