Per John Vennari, Frank is not only Pope but also an "enemy of the faith"

How can a true Pope, who is the Vicar of Christ on earth, be an ENEMY of the faith.

Seems to me the two are mutually exclusive.

He can't

Please post any teaching from any magisterial docuмent or any saint or father that teaches it is an impossibility that God would ever allow a pope to be an enemy of the Catholic faith.

All I ask is that you do not post any teaching from any of the 20th century theologians.

The pope is only infallible when he follows the guidelines laid out by Vatican I.  If he doesn't follow these, strictly, he can err.  It's simple.

If the pope couldn't err (either accidentally or purposefully) then why do we bother praying for him?
