You are failing to see the difference between "advising," "admonishing" or "correcting" vs. "judging."
There is no place for a canonical trial, and hence a judging of the pope, except by another pope. Arguably, Pope Emeritus Benedict could preside over such a trial. Or possibly Pope Francis could die, and then be tried and judged posthumously by his successor.
However, there is nothing on God's good earth to prevent both the laity and the clergy advising, admonishing and correcting the pope, as happened repeatedly in Scripture. This is our right, as well as sometimes our duty, under Canon 212.
...again, is to ASK us what we can and can't do, rather than TELL us what we can and can't do. You would save yourself frequent awkward moments.
Another possibility, and to my mind the best one, would be a determination that Señor Bergoglio is not the valid pope, and therefore is to be judged as well as deposed.
There were at least 37 deposed in this way from 217 AD to 1439 AD.
I wrote up some reasons why Pope Francis' attempted accession to the papacy may have been invalid.
Ask your fave Canon Lawyer. If you a want two opinions, ask two!
Please tell us where you received your degree in canon law from?
Can't wait to see.
I remind you....you are merely one of a billion or so lay Roman Catholics. You have no formal training nor can you espouse formal Roman Catholic doctrine nor can you interpret Scripture as you are not a priest.
To be blunt....you really have no valid opinion to offer that matters to your leadership.

Of which one of your fellow Roman Catholics says is nothing but mere assertion without facts to back the claim.

You presume that Canon Law has not changed. As we've seen with all things Roman Catholic there has been change. I'm willing to be there have been major changes.
