Practicing heresy invalidates one’s candidacy for the high office. Such candidacy is not dependent on the man’s internal state. If he is teaching heresy he defacto cannot be a Pope.
It is very uncomplicated.
You are flatly wrong. The issue is FORMAL heresy, and formal heresy IS a matter of a man’s interior intention.
