101 Heresies of
Antipope Benedict XVI
|
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, Respondeo). 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 does not believe all those things taught by the Magisterium of the Church?“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. Pietro Card. Gasparri, Vatican: Libreria Editrice Vaticana, 1917; cf. Decretales Gregorii IX. lib. v,. tit. vii. De Haereticis, Corpus iuris canonici, ed. E. Friedberg, vol. II. (Leipzig 1879 [repr. ed. Graz 1959] 1-928, vidi 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).
