Taylor Marshall finally admitted that "Francis teaches HERESY," now, the question is will he do a Skojec & a Schneider Cop Out
Doctor
of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt
the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church
in such a situation:
"[T]he Pope... WHEN he 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."
(The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)
Taylor Marshall finally admitted that "Pope Francis teaches HERESY: Pope Pius XII condemned the heresy of Francis":
Pope Francis on Feb 2 2022, taught, "that in Christ no one can ever truly separate us from those we love because the bond is an existential bond, a strong bond that is in our very nature...who have denied the faith, who are apostates." Pope Pius XII taught the exact opposite when he wrote of those: "who have not been so unfortunate as to separate themselves from the unity of the Body, or been excluded by legitimate authority for grave faults committed....as does schism or heresy or apostasy." Pope Francis is condemned by Pope Pius XII. Only one can be right on this matter. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzxvFNb59Ug]
Now, the question is will he do a Steve Skojec and a Bishop Athanasius Schneider cop out:
One of the great heroes in the present crisis Latin language expert Br.
Alexis Bugnolo recently stated that those with teachings like Skojec "on
what happens to heretics" without mentioning his name including
"Cardinals and Bishop" may be in "heresy":
"We are left with repeated examples that defy explanation. Those
Cardinals and Bishop who have the reputations for being the most
conservative, who often speak in the defense of many truths, openly
reject catholic teaching on what happens to heretics. To do such a
thing is itself a heresy, because it is asserting that entire dogmatic
and canonical tradition of the Church on heresy is not true."
"Heretics will never out heretics. I just hope that this principle is
not verified in the case of the men of whom we speak, and that they are
only cowards, not heretics."

Br. Bugnolo stated that in the comment section of the Catholic Monitor to this article:
Why is Schneider a Apologist of Francis's "Apostasy" by
Defending the Manifest Heretical Papacy of Francis against a Pope, Two
Doctors of the Church and "all the ancient Fathers"?
"[T]he apostasy... even Pope Francis, unfortunately, defends."
Doctor of the Church St. Robert Bellarmine said:
"The manifest heretical pope ceases per se to be pope... This is the opinion of all the ancient Fathers."
Bishop Schneider who admits that Francis "defends" the "apostasy" or heresy of idolatry, unfortunately, claims a manifest heretical pope can not as Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales says be "deprived" of "the Apostlic See" by the Church. Schneider by claiming Francis's heretical papacy can't be judged by the Church is implicitly defending the Francis "apostasy" or heresy of idolatry.
Is Schneider's opinion true or false?
Here is the answer from a POPE to Schneider's opinion and all the Francis apologists who claim that a heretical pope can't be judged by the Church:
Pope Innocent III (1198-1216) in "Si Papa":
"'Let no mortal being have the audacity to reprimand a Pope on account of faults, for he whose duty it is to judge all men cannot be judged by anybody, unless he should be called to the task of having deviated from the faith. (Si Papa)'"
"Pope Innocent III: 'For me the faith is so necessary that, whereas for other sins my only judge is God, for the slightest sin in the matter of the faith I could be judged by the Church.' (propter solum peccatum quod in fide commititur possem ab Ecclesia judican)"
(The Remnant, "Answering a Sedevacantist Critic," March 18, 2015)
Moreover, the important theologian Dominique Bouix in, Tractatus de papa, ubi et de concilio oecumenico, vol. II , pars IIIa, cap. iii, p. 653ff, responded to Schneider's opinion:
The second part, in which we hold that those excommunicated by perfect excommunication, which the Supreme Pontiff can determine, are separated from the body of the Church, is taught as Catholic doctrine by Pius XII in the encyclical Mystici corporis: AAS 35 (1943) 202ff.
1057. This whole thesis of ours is clearly taught by Pius XII and the Catechism of the Council of Trent.[16]
Pius XII writes: “But in truth, only those are to be numbered amongst the members of the Church who have received the laver of regeneration and profess the true faith, who have not miserably separated themselves from the community of the Church or through most grave crimes been separated by the legitimate authority…For this reason, those who are divided from one another in faith or government are unable to live in the one Body of this sort and in its divine Spirit…Nor should it be thought that the Body of the Church, because it is insigned with the name of Christ, consists, even in this time of terrestrial pilgrimage, only of members outstanding in sanctity, or that it is constituted only of the company of those who are predestined by God to sempiternal felicity…Indeed not every crime, even if a grave wickedness, is of such kind that of its very nature it separates man from the Body of the Church—as do schism, heresy, or apostasy.”
In the Catechism of the Council of Trent we read:
“Only three sorts of men are excluded from the Church: firstly, infidels, then heretics and schismatics, and finally excommunicates: pagans indeed, because they have never been in the Church, nor ever known it, nor been made partakers of any Sacrament in the society of the Christian people; heretics and schismatics, because they have revolted from the Church, for they no more pertain to the Church, than do deserters to the army from which they have defected: yet it must not be denied that they are in the power of the Church, as ones who may be called to judgment by her, punished, and condemned by anathema. Finally also excommunicates, because by the judgment of the Church have they been excluded from her, and do not belong to her communion until they come to their senses. But concerning other men, though they be wicked and criminal, it is not to be doubted that they yet persevere in the Church.”
1058. Dogmatic value. The first part, concerning heretics, apostates, and schismatics, is implicitly defined, particularly in the Council of Florence: D 714. The second part, on excommunicates by perfect excommunication, is Catholic doctrine, especially from the words of the encyclical of Pius XII, Mystici corporis Christi, recently cited by us above.
1059. The first part is proved. Heretics, apostates, and schismatics are not members of the Church...
1060. The same doctrine is confirmed by the authority of testimonies of the holy Fathers.
a) On heretics. Tertullian: “If they are heretics, they cannot be
Christians” (R 298). St. Hilary: “I am a Catholic; I do not wish to be a
heretic. I am a Christian, not an Arian.” St. Jerome: “Heretics pass
judgment upon themselves, receding from the Church of their own will.”
St. Augustine: “Sever yourselves from the members of the Church, sever
yourselves from its Body. But what still might I say, in order that they
might segregate themselves from the Church, since they have already
done this? For they are heretics; they are already without.” The
controversy on the rebaptizing of heretics, which was agitated thence
from the middle of the third century, supposed as recognized by all that
heretics are outside of the Church.[17]
b) On schismatics. Cyprian: “But what pertains to the person of
Novatian…you know that we in the first place ought not to be inquisitive
of what he taught, since he taught from without. Whosoever he is and of
whatever condition, he is not a Christian who is not in the Church of
Christ…he who neither held fast to fraternal charity nor ecclesiastical
unity, has lost even that which he was previously.” St. Jerome: “Between
heresy and schism, we think there to be this difference, that heresy
imports perverse dogma; schism, on account of episcopal dissension,
separates from the Church…moreover, no schism does not fabricate for
itself a heresy, so that it might seem to have receded from the Church
rightly.” St. Augustine: “Heretics and schismatics call their
congregations churches. But heretics, thinking falsely about God,
violate the faith itself; but schismatics burst free of fraternal
charity through hostile divisions, although they believe those things
which we believe. For this reason, heretics do not belong to the
Catholic Church, because she loves God, nor schismatics, because she
loves the neighbor” (R 1562). St. Fulgentius: “Most firmly hold and
doubt not at all, that every one baptized outside of the Catholic Church
is unable to become a partaker of eternal life, if before the end of
this life he has not returned and been incorporated to the Catholic
Church. Most steadily and in no way doubt, that not only all pagans, but
also all Jews and all heretics and schismatics, who finish this present
life outside of the Catholic Church, are to enter into the eternal
fire” (R 2274-5). Pelagius I: “Pollute not a mind ever Catholic by any
communion of schismatics. It is clear that the Body of Christ is one,
the Church is one…our Savior taught: a vine separated from the grapevine
cannot be good for anything, but fire for burning…Do not think that
they either are or can be called the Church. And indeed since, as we
have said, the Church is one…it is clear that there is no other but that
which is founded in the apostolic root.”[18]

Why is Schneider a apologist of Francis's "apostasy" by defending the
manifest heretical papacy of Francis against a pope, two Doctors of the
Church and "all the ancient Fathers"?
Pray an Our Father now for reparation for the sins committed because of Francis's Amoris Laetitia.
