I sympathise with dear and conflicted layfolk who wonder, in view of the preposterous publication in AAS of a certain letter, whether PF has finally stepped across a certain line and through manifest heresy forfeited the Petrine See.
The answer is
(1) No;
(2) No; and
(3) No.
To suffer canonical consequences for formal heresy, formal canonical procedures, including formal pertinacity after formal warnings, would be necessary.
There is nowhere you can buy a DIY 'deposeapope' kit.
If God spares me until tomorrow morning, I shall as usual say una cum famulo tuo papa nostro Francisco in the Te igitur, bowing my head as I do so.
Sedevacantist comments are never, you will remember, enabled on this blog.
Talk about PF no longer being pope is an easy way out of a very horrible problem. It is a characteristic temptation of the Enemy. You must realise that the Enemy is terribly active at the moment.
I beg you in the Holy Name of our Redeemer to forget it.

Thank you for standing up against Sedevacantists, Father!
On this matter, Father, you are clearly right. In "The Dictator Pope", a question has been tentatively raised about the election process, which is altogether a very different matter, and a matter upon which I have no opinion.
Pray and Fast
Pray - We have a duty to pray for our Pope
Fast - Whoever eats of the Pope dies
Kind of a procedural question for you, Father, but can one be automatically de-Poped, latae sententiae? I don't mean to imply that any such situation obtains today, but am asking if one is even possible.
