Sean, you have serious reading comprehension problems.  Not to mention a mental block when it comes to sede vacantism.  ALL Catholic theologians without exception agree with the dogma that under no circuмstances whatsoever may anyone judge the pope.  No layman, no priest, no bishop and no cardinal has the authority to judge and depose a pope.  So when you ask the question, "You want me to personally depose the pope?", you are implying that only a member of the hierarchy could depose the pope (or a group of members of the hierarchy).  But that is false.  They can't depose the pope either.  But in your previous post you asked why the hierarchy hadn't deposed the pope for heresy.  The answer is that they can't depose the pope.  You also asked why they hadn't declared him to be a manifest heretic.  Well a declaration like that isn't a juridical act so anyone can do that.  It doesn't matter if you are a cardinal, a priest or a layman, a declaration that a man is a manifest heretic has no juridical force whatsoever.  But the manifest heresy itself has the effect of deposing a man from membership in the Catholic Church along with the loss of any and all ecclesiastical offices he might possess.  Either the man really is a manifest heretic or he isn't.  If he isn't a heretic then it doesn't matter what anyone declares (whether they be a cardinal or a layman makes no difference) because the man is still the pope.  But if he is a manifest heretic then likewise it doesn't matter what anyone declares, the man is NOT THE POPE.  So you won't make a declaration but you are faulting the hierarchy for not making a declaration.  Meanwhile, many members of the hierarchy actually did declare him a heretic but you condemn and mock them for doing so.  I guess they weren't the right members of the hierarchy for you.  But that just makes you intellectually inconsistent (some would say dishonest).  There is no doubt in my mind that if Vigano declared George Bergoglio to be a manifest heretic you would drop him like a hot potato.
