"If anyone holds to one single one of these (heresies) he is not a Catholic."
-- Pope Leo XIII (from Encyclical Satis Cognitum: 9)



What is Heresy?

"[H]eresy is a species of unbelief, belonging to those who profess the Christian faith, but corrupt its dogmas." (St. Thomas Aquinas, O.P. Angelic Doctor, Summa theologiae: II-II, q. 11, a. 1, Rs). 

What must we believe?

"By the divine and Catholic Faith, all those things must be believed which are contained in the written Word of God and in tradition, and those which are proposed by the Church, either in a solemn pronouncement or in her ordinary and universal magisterium, to be believed as divinely revealed." (Pope Pius IX, Dogmatic Constitution concerning the Catholic Faith Dei Filius, 24 April 1870, Ch. 3, with the submission of the Ecumenical Vatican Council I, Session III, D. 1792) 

Who is a heretic?

“Any baptized person who … obstinately denies or doubts any of the truths proposed for belief by divine and Catholic faith, is a heretic.”(Canon 1325.2, Codex Iuris Canonici, ed. Peter Cardinal Gasparri, Vatican: Vatican Press, 1917; cf. Decretales Gregorii IX. lib. v,. tit. vii. De Haereticis found in Corpus iuris canonici, ed. E. Friedberg, vol. II. (Leipzig 1879 [repr. ed. Graz 1959] 1-928 and approved by the Papal Bull Rex pacificus of 5 September 1234)

Can a heretic be a valid Pope of the Roman Catholic Church?

No. The Papal Bull Cum ex apostolatus officio of Pope Paul IV declared that: if anyone was a heretic before the Papal Election, he could not be a valid pope, even if he is elected unanimously by the Cardinals. Canon 188.4 (Codex 1917; cf. Leo XIII's Satis Cognitum, n. 15) stated that: if a cleric (pope, bishop, etc.) becomes a heretic, he loses his office without any declaration by operation of law. St. Robert Bellarmine, St. Antonius, St. Francis de Sales, St. Alphonsus Liguori, and many other theologians all teach that a heretic cannot be a pope: "If however, God were to permit a pope to become a notoriously and contumacious heretic he would by such fact cease to be pope, and the apostolic chair would be vacant." (St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori, Doctor of the Church: Verità della Fede. Pt. iii, Ch.viii, 9-10
