At what point do individual Catholic Churches break away from a rogue, out-of-control Pope? I’m not Catholic but I’m just wondering.
What _should_ happen is that the cardinals should get together and reign him in, with the implied threat that he can be found to have lost his office by heresy. (There is significant evidence for that.)
He will be out of the picture before too much longer anyway ... the old-fashioned way.
that would make one not Catholic. The Catholic thing to do is do what Cardinal Mueller pointed out. Pope Francis Letter is purely Disciplinary, so while one has to accept it in practice, I don’t to have to agree with it and can actually work for ways to help the Traditional Liturgy survive. So while there is no TLM Parish in my Diocese, rather than send Money to Pope Francis Papal Appeal which is a yearly appeal every year that every Catholic Parish has (Peters Pence), I will send my money to a TLM Parish even if it is not in my Diocese.
This Pope, by God’s Providence has as of yet made no ex Cathedra Pronouncements nor thank God has he called a Council. So while Pope Francis is still alive, I am praying for him now and also praying for the repose of his soul (which usually one does not start doing till someone has actually died).
Do you mean parishes? They will not break away, instead some of their congregation will defect and go to SSPX.
