From the Writings of Roman Catholic Popes, Councils, Saints, and Theologians

 (Ecclesia Dei, 1988) Pope John Paul II

Modernist John Paul II admitted there were new doctrines
yet what does the Catholic Church say concerning the ability
of any church member to change what has been already infallibly taught? Let us further examine: 

FRANCISCO SUAREZ, S.J. (1548-1617)
CALLED BY POPE PAUL V DOCTOR EXIMIUS ET PIUS (MOST EXALTED AND PIOUS)
CONSIDERED THE GREATEST THEOLOGIAN OF THE SOCIETY OF JESUS

"Et hoc secundo modo posset Papa esse schismaticus, si nollet 
tenere cum toto Ecclesiae corpore unionem et coniunctionem quam debet, 
ut si tentat et totem Ecclesiam excommunicare, aut si vellet omnes  
Ecclesiasticas caeremonias apostolica traditione firmatas evertere. (De 
Charitate, Disputatio XII de Schismate, sectio 1)
        ["And in this second way the Pope could be schismatic, if he were  
unwilling to be in normal union with the whole body of the Church, 
as would occur if he attempted to excommunicate the whole Church, or, as 
both Cajetan and Torquemada observe, if he wished to overturn the rites 
of the Church based on Apostolic Tradition."]
       
        "If [the pope] gives an order contrary to right customs, he should 
not be obeyed; if he attempts to do something manifestly opposed to 
justice and the common good, it will be lawful to resist him; if he 
attacks by force, by force he can be repelled, with a moderation 
appropriate to a just defense."  (De Fide, Disp. X, Sec. VI, N. 16)


POPE PAUL IV (1559-1566)
         
        "If ever it should appear that any bishop, even one acting as an 
Archbishop, Patriarch, or Primate, or a Cardinal of the Roman Church, 
or a legate, or even the Roman Pontiff, whether prior to his promotion to 
cardinal, or prior to his election as Roman Pontiff, has beforehand deviated 
from the Catholic faith or fallen into any heresy, We enact, we decree, we 
determine, we define:  Such promotion or election in and of itself, even 
with 
the agreement and unanimous consent of all the Cardinals, shall be null, 
legally invalid, and void.

        "It shall not be possible for such a promotion or election to be 
deemed valid or to be valid, neither through reception of office, 
consecration, subsequent administration, or possession, not even through the 
putative enthronement of a Roman Pontiff himself, together with the 
veneration and obedience accorded him by all.  Such promotion or election 
shall not through any lapse of time in the foregoing situation be considered 
even partially legitimate in any way....  Each and all of the words, as 
acts, 
laws, appointments of those so promoted or elected -- and indeed, whatsoever 
flows therefrom -- shall be lacking in force, and shall grant no stability 
and legal power to anyone whatsoever.

        "Those so promoted or elected, by that very fact and without the 
need 
to make any further declaration, shall be deprived of any dignity, position, 
honor, title, authority, office, and power....  Therefore, it is permitted 
to 
no one to impair this page of Our approval, renewal, sanction, statute, 
wills 
of repeal, of degrees, or to go contrary to it by a rash daring deed.  If 
anyone, moreover, will have presumed to attempt this, he will incur the 
wrath 
of Almighty God an of the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul."  (Cum ex 
apostolatus officio, February 16, 1559, sec. 9, apud "Fontes Iuris 
Canonici," 
1971)
    
      Two popes, Innocent III and Paul IV, both vigorous defenders of 
papal authority, together with many theologians, admitted the principle 
that a pope, in his personal capacity, can defect from the Faith or 
become a heretic; that when the fact of defection becomes manifest, such 
a pope automatically (ipso facto) loses his office and authority; and 
that such a pope should be resisted.

        What is even more significant is that in his Cum ex apostolatus 
officio, Paul IV even perceives the possibility of a Protestant being 
elected to the throne of Peter.  He says that in such a case, the pope's 
acts would be automatically void, and he would not be the pope, even if 
he had been accepted and obeyed as true Pope by the whole Church.  This 
papal document shows the mind of the Church on this matter.  In such a 
case, Paul IV is calling upon Catholics to resist such a "pope" with all 
their might.


ST. FRANCIS DE SALES (1567-1622)  

"Now when [the Pope] is explicitly a heretic, he falls ipso facto 
from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church must either 
deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic 
See."  (A Catholic Controversy, 1596)
