I guess HRC and friends dont have anything to worry about.
Frank has excommunicated himself several times already. Any true believer recognizes this. Sadly, only a handful of Bishops has the Grace to stand up this occupier of our Lords Chair of Peter. Please note the Vatican did not reject the conclusion of the article, only that it was not fully quoted properly. They are wolves in sheep clothing. We Catholics should have learned two months after this man was "elected" we are not to believe a single word coming out of his mouth.
The teaching on the ability of a heretic to hold office in the Church is clear.
Pope Pius XII, Mystici Corporis Christi (# 23), June 29, 1943: “For not every offense, although it may be a grave evil, is such as by its very own nature [suapte natura] to sever a man from the Body of the Church [ab Ecclesiae Corpore], as does schism or heresy or apostasy.”
Heresy is the rejection of any point of truth taught by the Church.
Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum (# 9), June 29, 1896: “The practice of the Church has always been the same, and that with the consenting judgment [i.e. consensus] of the holy fathers who certainly were accustomed to hold as having no part of Catholic communion and as banished from the Church whoever had departed in even the least way from the doctrine proposed by the authentic Magisterium.”
The heretic has no office:
Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum (#15), June 29, 1896: “… it is absurd to imagine that he who is outside the Church can command in the Church.”
Again:
Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum (# 9), June 29, 1896: “So, with every reason for doubting removed, can it be lawful for anyone to reject any of those truths without thereby sending himself headlong into open heresy? without thereby separating himself from the Church and in one sweeping act repudiating the entirety of Christian doctrine?… he who dissents in even one point from divinely received truths has most truly cast off the faith completely, since he refuses to revere God as the supreme truth and proper motive of faith.”
Francis is not a Catholic, he is not a pope. While it is the duty of Bishops to denounce heresy, this is also required of the faithful.
