Flashback: Why is Bp. Schneider an 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"?

Bishop Athanasius Schneider, in his recent interview with Michael Matt onRemnant Video called "Defend & Resist," said about the Francis Vatican Pachamama idolatry: "[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 apologis...

St. Francis de Sales' "Controversies" : "Pope..when he is explicitly a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity & out of the Church, & the Church must either deprive him or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See"

Thus we do not say that the Pope cannot err in his private opinions, as did John XXII; or be altogether a heretic as perhaps Honorius was.  Now 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, and must say as St. Peter did: let another take his bishopric  [as was said of Judas Iscariot, Apostle of Jesus Christ] . When he errs in his private opinions he must be instructed, advised, convinced; as happened with John XXII, who was so far from dying obstinate or from determining anything during his life concerning his opinion, that he died whilst he was making the examination which is necessary for determining in a matter of faith, as his successors delcared in the Extravaga...
