I’m curious where people are at with Pope “Catholicism Is Not Really My Forte” Francis and his status within or without the Catholic Church. I don’t yet know how to embed a poll in sub stack, but will use a numbered list for convenience. In terms of status, do you think:
Pope Francis is the Pope until death;
Pope Francis is the Pope until deposed by some type of juridical action by some type of ecclesial body;
Pope Francis is the Pope until he commits heresy and that has to be declared by some type of ecclesial body;
Pope Francis is no longer the Pope because he has committed manifest, formal heresy and has refused correction;
Pope Francis hasn’t been the Pope for awhile because he committed manifest, formal heresy during this tenure;
Pope Francis was never the Pope because he was a manifest, formal heretic before the conclave;
Pope Benedict never validly resigned so he was always the Pope and now that he’s died, we are without a Pope;
Vote early, vote often.
Hysterical or Heretical?
Roz? Roz? Is this microphone on?
Like any good Multiple Guess test.....I go with All of the Above. His words and actions display either the weakest theological training and mind or just an outright poor sense of humor coupled with a diabolical love of power. Either way he is a poor imitation of a acolyte much less the Pope.
