This looks interesting!
Does it explain how a non Catholic antichrist can be elected or consecrated as pope?
Specifically how one who is "outside the Church" which all heretics are
can become "valid matter" for the papal consecration?
Please correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding is that those outside the Church are not valid matter for papal consecration.
This is similar to attempting to consecrate a potato chip on the altar at Holy Mass.
It's not valid matter and even if you say the most reverent Mass with all the prayers and rubrics, no consecration would take place, right?
In the same way you could dress up the Dalai Lama like a pope and say the prayers but he
could not possibly be consecrated.
Why?
Because he is
not Catholic. He is
outside the Church.
Are well known heretics like ALL of the concilliar "popes" Catholic?
NO
Are they
OUTSIDE the Church?
YES
How do we know?
The Holy Fathers teach unanimously not only that heretics are outside of the Church, but also that they are “ipso facto” deprived of all ecclesiastical jurisdiction and dignity. St. Cyprian (lib. 2, epist. 6) says: “We affirm that absolutely no heretic or schismatic has any power or right”; and he also teaches (lib. 2, epist. 1) that the heretics who return to the Church must be received as laymen, even though they have been formerly priests or bishops in the Church. St. Optatus (lib. 1 cont. Parmen.) teaches that heretics and schismatics cannot have the keys of the kingdom of heaven, nor bind nor loose. St. Ambrose (lib. 1 de poenit., ca. 2), St. Augustine (in Enchir., cap 65), St. Jerome (lib. cont. Lucifer.) teach the same.
