You’re still stuck on the Cephas verse aren’t you? Cephas did not propose deviations to the Faith. Therefore you can not use it to support your “recognize and resist” position.

Yes, I am "stuck on" Sacred Scripture. St. Bellarmine is not the author. His speculations and opinions are interesting, but not to be substituted for God's Word on the subject of errant popes.

Cephas "was to be blamed" (Galatians 2:11). In that regard, he and Bergoglio are alike. We may therefore "resist" Bergoglio's anti-Christ scribblings and blather with a clear conscience. God is permitting him to run amok, and it is His prerogative to resolve the situation as He wills. Those who presume to be personally entitled to effectively excommunicate disobedient popes (and even declare that no legitimate pope has existed since 1958) are clearly trespassing on God's domain.

Where else in Sacred Scripture (besides Gal 2:11) does God directly treat of an errant pope?

An “errant” pope? A “disobedient” pope? You mean a true pope who errs in matters other than faith and morals? Or a true pope who sins? I’m not talking about a merely “errant” or “disobedient” pope. I’m talking about a “pope” that teaches heresy in matters of faith and morals. God doesn’t directly treat that sort of “pope” in Scripture because true popes don’t teach The Church heresy and there was no such pope in Scripture.

So again, Cephas, does not teach the Church heresy. Therefore, it does NOT support your position. Unless of course you just think Bergoglio is merely “disobedient”. You know, a “bad” pope.
