    Where in the Traditional teachings of the Church is your doctrine included, regarding a Non-Catholic holding office in the Catholic Church?

    Since there is no provision in the traditional teachings of the Catholic Church for a pope to lose his office due to heresy, of course you cannot cite it. 

    Since laymen believe that they can depose a pope, of course they believe that the office of the papacy isn't really any different than that of the lay state. Not special at all. A pope is just the same as any Catholic layman. Isn't that something that Vatican II wanted to stress as well? Blur the lines between clergy and laity?

    Public heresy BY ITS VERY NATURE separates the heretic from the Church.

    I'm not the one providing new doctrine on how a Pope can lose his office. Your doctrine is novel, since you cannot back it up with any source which says that a Pope will lose his office due to heresy.

    Why wasn't it included, then, in the Catholic Church doctrine which states how a Pope can lose his office? There are only two reasons provided by the Catholic Church, as stubborn said, which are death or resignation.

    It doesn't need to.  "BY ITS VERY NATURE" applies to everyone without exception.

    The public sin of manifest formal heresy per se separates the heretic from the Church.
    But Jorge Bergoglio has committed the public sin of manifest formal heresy.
    Therefore, Jorge Bergoglio is separated from the Church.

    There are two ways for a pope to vacate his office; 1) his death and 2) his resignation.

    Anyone else remember this?
    What I remember is for hundreds of years, no Pope "retired."

    We were talking about the official ways, according to Tradition, that a pope can vacate his office. Your doctrine isn't included as being one of the ways in which a Pope can vacate his office, and never has been. Your doctrine is novel.
    Retirement is novel.

    Just so we are all on the same page, please cite the doctrine of which you speak.

    But Jorge Bergoglio has committed the public sin of manifest formal heresy.
    Therefore, Jorge Bergoglio is separated from the Church.

    If Bergolio is separated from the Church, then why is he still there, in the office of what the world assumes is the Papacy?

    I have no doctrine. Only the Catholic Church has doctrine.

    It seems that way, because it has so rarely been done.
