“In order to cease to be Pope, Bergoglio must be a pertinacious, obstinate, formal heretic...”
In order to BECOME Pope, a person must be a male, must be not insane, and must be an actual Catholic.
Bergoglio has met only one of those criteria for certain.
He certainly has not met all three of them.
Wrong, again. Quite the record you are racking up here, what?
As long as you do not know the limits of your own knowledge, your assertions are baseless. You are no more capable of knowing Bergoglio’s interior states in 2012 than his interior states in 2017.
Anyone can know that Bergoglio is a rotten, destructive Pope or putative Pope. If, in fact, he has fallen from the Papacy, no one other than God can know for certain. God has not provided US with a mechanism for knowing this—PRECISELY BECAUSE OUR SALVATION DOES NOT DEPEND ON IT.
I.e., it is NOT necessary for our salvation to know, day to day, or year to year, with certitude, who is or is not Pope. It is necessary to know the content of the Catholic Faith.
