Were it not for recognizing that only a future Pope can declare a past Pope to have lost (or never truly have possessed) the Chair of Peter, I would be sedevacantist.

But because of that prohibitive requirement, we are faced with an anomaly:

A Pope who manifestly does not possess the Catholic faith.


From what/where are you recognizing such?


Recognizing that the pope does not possess the Catholic faith?  

Or the stance that sedevacantism is an impossibility due to only a future pope being able to declare a current pope an anti-pope?  Or non-pope?

The latter, since the theological principles dictate the exact opposite.  Now before this is misunderstood, let me clarify by saying that if we're in a period of sedevacante presently, it's also absurd that one absolutely HAS to recognize to such remain a Catholic (though logical theological consistency is another matter).  In any case, the notion that one can't be determined a heretic (if manifest) until subsequent to an authoritative declaration flies in the face history (namely the Nestorius episode among others) and the approved authors.
