What do you think "manifest" means?
Evident
You would be wrong."A pope who merely seems to have lost the Faith, or who has made statements that are erroneous or even heretical, yet who has not openly left the Church or been publicly warned, does not constitute a manifest heretic. And since no such warnings have been given to any of the post-Vatican II popes, either before or after their election, none of them qualify as a manifest heretic."https://www.remnantnewspaper.com/Archives/2013-0315-siscoe-sedevacantism.htm "Suarez: “in no case, even that of heresy, is the Pontiff deprived of his dignity and of his power immediately by God himself, before the judgment and sentence of men. This is the common opinion today”. (ibid.)
No warnings are needed for a "public manifest formal heretic" as defined above.
