I think it should be hashed out using the sources.

No need to apologize.

Honest question: Is this why Lad calls you a heretic?
(not trying to blast you or anything)

The only infallible Magisterial source I know of is the statement in Vatican I that there would be shepherds until "consummationem saeculi." There's a whole thread on that:

Ask him. I could care less.

Since this thread is about a pope, I must add a very important fact - Popes are not subject to canon law. So we shouldn't be talking about canon law.

Also, since a pope cannot be judged, the only type of judgment used would be a "declaratory" judgment, which means the judges already went into the court knowing with certainty the man is not the pope, and merely, in a sense, writes the death certificate so that everyone is on the same page about it in society.


I was writing about the sin of heresy and its relation to the crime of heresy.  The crime is based upon the sin.

Right.
I just wanted to take the opportunity to mention to all readers now and future that canon law does not apply to a pope. It's a common problem.
