Heretical position = Recognize him and confirm, justify, or ignore his errors.

Schismatic position = Recognize him,…

Similar to how John Paul II 'beatified' both Pope Pius IX and John XXIII in the same ceremony.

Chris Jackson @BigModernism

I’m calling it now. Leo XIV will oversee a joint canonization of both Francis and Benedict XIV in the name of “Church unity.” Conservatives will defend it because at least BXVI will be canonized. Mainstream Catholic media will be overjoyed & gushing. Cult of Leo XIV will grow. https://t.co/wP0qf5Lvqi

Apparenly Dr. Feser thinks there's a chance that Leo XIV doesn't adhere fully to the Novus Ordo Catechism (as revised by Francis) or to Dignitas Infinita.

Edward Feser @FeserEdward

It has no effect at all on his claim to the papacy, for several reasons. One of them is that, as I have emphasized many times, the fundamental problem with Francis’s teaching on the death penalty is not the word “inadmissible.” The problem is with the unqualified assertion in the https://t.co/NsKETcnqSg

Very good point in principle, Reverend! Now apply that to 'Saint' Paul VI, please.

Fr Matthew P. Schneider, LC @FrMatthewLC

Canonization is not just saying [X] is in heaven, but also [X] lived heroic virtue in ways others should imitate. Canonization is about putting this person up as a model to imitate.

The actions of Lefebvre's later life (consecrating bishops against direct orders, etc.) are https://t.co/ZT6IfRGY8P

Actually, complete submission is the correct position to take for a genuine pope. If Francis was Pope, then submission was the only right option. The idea of "exceptionally, we can suspend submission, it just can't be the default" is untenable because each Pope is equally Pope.

Classical Theist ✠ @ClassicalTheis

I don’t like the “let’s give Pope Leo a chance” framing, as if to suggest he is the one who by default needs to learn from us and not the other way around. It is precisely the other way around, and the only reason the dynamic shifted under Pope Francis is because our obedience to
