I’m not very familiar with the terminology used in Catholic teaching. I know that it tends to be very precise.

So, apparently, there have always been areas which are not necessarily “articles of faith” that are essential to not being labeled a heretic. But I am wondering how faithful Catholics view a Pope who is also a heretic, assuming that this is a possibility from the perspective of Catholics.

Them's mighty big words from a one-eyed fat man!

Which Catholic has the RIGHT to JUDGE the POPE?

Unam Sanctum

Unam Sanctum

 

The Bull lays down dogmatic propositions on the unity of the Church,

the necessity of belonging to it for the attainment of eternal salvation,

the position of the pope as supreme head of the Church,

and the duty thence arising of submission to the pope in order to belong to the Church,

and thus to attain salvation.
