:facepalm:  Only the church has the authority to investigate and decide if the evidence is sufficient. 


The church is a monarchy with a hierarchical authority.  It is not a democracy nor does it allow (nor has it ever allowed) the kind of Protestant-grassroots-individualistic-decision-making which you describe. 

Nobody cares what you investigate, how you interpret canon law, what your conclusions are, nor any opinion you have on ANYTHING related to Catholicism.  Your opinion matters 0%.  If you think it does, you’re well on your way to following Martin Luther.

If Jorge Bergoglio publicly admitted that he is a heretic and none of the cardinals or bishops did anything about it, would you still consider him to be pope?

Does the 1917 Code of Canon Law define what constitutes a public defection from the Catholic Faith? I can't find that it does. But there needs to be an authentic interpretation of what constitutes a public defection from the Catholic Faith.

Is holding publicly and pertinaciously to one heresy not sufficient?

Can confirm that since abandoning Lefebvrism my debates with non-Catholics were much more effective. People would always point to Francis and I'd sound delusional explaining how it doesn't matter what he does. The funny thing is I was never comfortable with that part but now it's clear as day to me.

Attended a Rosary rally in Boston where our group was being constantly harangued and heckled by protestants with loudspeakers.  One prot boomer targeted me as we were praying.
 
Although I would not engage him, he came in close and wanted me to defend Bergolio's public announcement of cancelling Hell.      The conversation did not last long, but I think I satisfied him.

I told him: "Bergolio is a Jєω".  He said "Oh!... okay" and walked away.

No, it is not.
