The Seven Sacraments are the keys to heaven, that’s why. You cannot enter heaven except through God’s grace— mainly received through the sacraments which gives you sanctifying grace. The power comes from God Himself, Our Lord Jesus Christ. Do not be fooled by the infiltrators that have tried to hijack the Catholic Church. All the more reason to believe She is the One, True Church—Satan would not have tried so hard if the Catholic Church were fake.

The Theological Hypothesis of a Heretical Pope

The Theological Hypothesis of a Heretical Pope
The Theological Hypothesis of a Heretical Pope
“The Pope Manifestly a Heretic Ceases by Himself to Be Pope”
“The Pope Manifestly a Heretic Ceases by Himself to Be Pope”
In a previous article we did a quick examination of heresy in general, and how it is incompatible with ecclesiastical jurisdiction.
We concluded that the abandonment of the Catholic Faith corresponds to a tacit resignation of any ecclesiastical office, since those who are no longer part of the Church cannot enjoy any jurisdiction in it.1
We will now examine, albeit briefly, the theological hypothesis of a heretical pope.
A Hypothesis Grounded in Theological and Canonical Tradition
In his book, Can a Pope Be…a Heretic? The Theological Hypothesis of a Heretical Pope, Brazilian professor Arnaldo Vidigal Xavier da Silveira (d. 2018) having studied more than a hundred renowned authors, including Doctors of the Church, concluded that there is nothing in Divine Revelation that asserts the impossibility of a pope falling into heresy when not teaching ex cathedra.2
In fact, in order for it to be impossible for a pope to commit the sin of heresy, it would be necessary that he could not commit any mortal sin or err in anything that he said or did. Now this would require, on the one hand, that every pope be confirmed in grace, and, on the other, that he enjoy absolute and all-encompassing infallibility. Yet nothing in Revelation says that Our Lord gave Saint Peter’s successors confirmation in grace (which so strengthens a person that he never commits mortal sins), as He granted to the Apostles at Pentecost. Nor is there any promise of an absolute and all-encompassing infallibility.
Lessons From History
An objective study of Church History shows that some popes led a life that was hardly edifying, to say the least, giving scandal.3
As to the charisma of personal infallibility, the First Vatican Council made it clear that the pope only enjoys infallibility “when he speaks ex cathedra, that is, when carrying out the duty of the pastor and teacher of all Christians by virtue of his supreme apostolic authority he defines a doctrine of faith or morals to be held by the universal Church.”4 Outside these strict limits, the pope can err.5
Maintaining Love for the Papacy
When analyzing this delicate question, we must defend our love for the papacy, for the pontifical monarchy, and for the principle of unity in the Church. A stalwart example in this regard is Prof. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira (1908–1995)—founder of the Brazilian Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family, and Property—when he issued a declaration of resistance to Pope Paul VI’s policy of rapprochement with communist regimes. At the same time that he resisted this policy, Prof. Corrêa de Oliveira sang a hymn of praise to the papacy.6
The Pope’s Supreme Power
The fundamental principle to keep in mind when analyzing the question of a heretical pope is that the pope enjoys the “supreme and full power of jurisdiction in the universal Church.” This is what has always been taught and is enshrined in the Codes of Canon Law, both old and new.7 The theological basis for this statement is found in Saint Matthew (16:18–19).8 It affirms the primacy and supreme authority of the pope in a clear and unmistakable way.9
Therefore, since no one has jurisdiction over the pope, he cannot be the object of any judicial action. His authority is supreme, “without appeal or recourse to any other human power, not even the Ecumenical Council.”10 He is subject to divine and natural law, but not to purely ecclesiastical laws.

Yes! All of them! Some are by ancient traditions.
Every single day at the mass and Liturgy of the Hours.
The reference to the pope demands this explanation—HE IS NOT CATHOLIC!
I guess so, about handling stupid. Did you read it at least?
The lb had a post with questions about the Catholic Church, this was evoked by Q’s post. Prior knowledge, connecting prior information…it’s all connected. Satan’s biggest enemy is the Bride of Christ—the Catholic Church which laid down the foundation of Western Civilization, which is now attacked by Satan’s minions. See how Satanic rites mock Catholic rites?
I don’t think you can make up something passed on by Christ Himself for centuries. History itself is a testament to the true Church. The others are made up. They have no point of reference for their existence other than their founders. The Catholic Church was founded by Christ Himself.
The Vatican or the Holy See is the business side, we are humans after all, but the Church is a Divine Institution.
Don’t confuse the Vatican/Holy See with the Catholic Church. The
Church is much, much bigger.
Priests have existed since ancient times. We need priests as our connection to God. Pastors have absolutely no power (other than to take your money). At least priests have priestly oowers as described in the bible, given by God Himself at the Cenacle, during the Last Supper. Read up folks!
Yeah, so with the last Q post—it is inevitable with everyone on board attacking the Catholic Church along with all those pedo Bishops and heretical pope.
The pope is a false prophet—the cleansing will be Biblical in proportion. Question is WHO is the Anti-Christ.
After three days, He rose from the dead. He has power over life—He is God.
Read again.
When you rise from the dead by yourself, maybe I’ll listen to you. 🤷♀️
God became man to establish His Church.
The Catholics wrote the Holy Bible, friend. You need the Church as an institution for its proper interpretation.
Nope! Read the Last Supper, it’s all in the Bible!
You should take the Catholic Church seriously because our Founder rose from the dead. None of those other religions have their founders showing power over life itself.
I’ll pray for you…there is a block there.
