Yes, I see how that could be a thorny issue. If you believe the Holy Spirit is involved in the safeguarding the selection process, then the authority was not only conferred, but conferred with the imprimatur of God. How then, could a mistake have been made, and one who would turn heretical have been appointed? The only route to revoke the authority, it would seem, would be to argue that the appointment was not done properly, and was null from the beginning. Basically, you would need to argue for an “annulment”, not a “divorce”.
