I understand that docuмent.
I also understand that the Church is hierarchial, and only a superior or an equal can pass judgment on another member of the Church. A priest cannot pass judgment on a Bishop. And the laity certainly cannot pass judgment on the Pope.
Right. On another MEMBER OF THE CHURCH.
ex cathedra[/i]]It firmly believes, professes and preaches that all those who are outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans but also Jєωs or heretics and schismatics...
Outside the Church? NOT a member.
6. In addition, [by this Our Constitution, which is to remain valid in perpetuity We enact, determine, decree and define:-] that if ever at any time it shall appear that any Bishop, even if he be acting as an Archbishop, Patriarch or Primate; or any Cardinal of the aforesaid Roman Church, or, as has already been mentioned, any legate, or even the Roman Pontiff, prior to his promotion or his elevation as Cardinal or Roman Pontiff, has deviated from the Catholic Faith or fallen into some heresy...
7. Finally, [by this Our Constitution, which is to remain valid in perpetuity, We] also [enact, determine, define and decree]: that ANY AND ALL PERSONS who would have been subject to those thus promoted or elevated if they had not previously deviated from the Faith, become heretics, incurred schism or provoked or committed any or all of these, be they members of anysoever of the following categories:
(i) the clergy, secular and religious;
(ii) the laity;
(iii) the Cardinals, even those who shall have taken part in the election of this very Pontiff previously deviating from the Faith or heretical or schismatical, or shall otherwise have consented and vouchsafed obedience to him and shall have venerated him;
(iv) Castellans, Prefects, Captains and Officials, even of Our Beloved City and of the entire Ecclesiastical State, even if they shall be obliged and beholden to those thus promoted or elevated by homage, oath or security;
shall be permitted at any time to withdraw with impunity from obedience and devotion to those thus promoted or elevated and to avoid them as warlocks, heathens, publicans, and heresiarchs (the same subject persons, nevertheless, remaining bound by the duty of fidelity and obedience to any future Bishops, Archbishops, Patriarchs, Primates, Cardinals and Roman Pontiff canonically entering).
I understand that docuмent.
Evidently NOT.
The pope has given PERMISSION to ANY AND ALL PERSONS to withdraw obedience from public heretics. Thanks for coming out.
You obviously have no idea what you are talking about, or what the Pope wrote there.
The Pope has not given permission for you, a member of the laity, to determine and pronounce who is and is not a heretic. Nor did he give permission to members of the clergy, or the laity, to schism willy-nilly and set up shop whenever they please.
If I understand what Pope Paul IV wrote there to mean what you say it means, then he just gave Luther and Calvin and Zwingli the green light.
After all, their argument was exactly the same as your own. They, too, made the case that the Pope was a heretic.
But that is not what he said.
He said that you, as a member of the laity, wait until you are told by the Teaching Authority of Holy Mother Church, who is a heretic, and then you shun him.
You do not have the authority to pronounce the word "heretic" against any Pope living or dead.
You are nothing more than a self-righteous blathering Protestant.
