This has nothing to do with an action against the Church or against the Pope: on the contrary, it is an act of supreme love for the Church and Francis: because IF the accusation of heresy, launched officially and unofficially by high doctrinal and theological authorities against Francis, turns out to be true at the end of a proper ecclesiastical process, the Church will confront the faithful with the truth (and Socrates already said this in the Gorgiasthat no more precious gift can be bestowed upon a person than to free him from error.) The opportunity to free Francis during his lifetime from errors has now been missed, given his death. But if Pope Francis has, as we must hope, revoked all errors in his heart before his death and certainly recognizes them now, condemning them and freeing the doctrine of the Church from them would still be an act of love for Pope Francis and especially for the bride of Jesus, the Church, by freeing her from the immense evil of heresies.
I believe that, if the accusation of heresy is true, a valid official verdict that Francis is a heretic and was therefore not a valid pope, as has been done with regard to several popes before, also posthumously, would be of the greatest benefit to the future of the Church.
Indeed, even if Pope Francis had resigned from his post, as Pope Benedict XVI did, this would not have been enough to heal the terrible wound of a heretical pope, because the destructive elements and poisonous fruits of his pontificate would have remained:
1. The Acta Apostolica will continue to contain uncondemned heresies.
2. Heretical moral teachings such as those expressed in the AL would ostensibly remain official teachings of the Church and would seduce the faithful into committing grave sins.
3. Many other heretical remarks by the Pope that directly contradict the solemn words of Christ and the dogmas of the Church would not be expunged from the corpus of Church teaching, such as:
a. Francis's (private but repeated) "teaching" on the emptiness of hell and the non-existence of eternal punishment,
b. the affirmation of annihilation instead of eternal punishment for incurable sinners, a typical teaching of Jehovah's Witnesses, incompatible with several dogmas.
c. The sentence in the Abu Dhabi Declaration on God's Will Since Creation concerning the plurality of religions (including those that deny the divinity of Christ, the Holy Trinity, redemption by Christ alone, etc.) which is more apostatic than heretical, would not be removed from the Acta Apostolica but would remain prescribed for all bishops and rectors of seminaries throughout the world to teach in seminaries in the una, sancta, catholica et apostolica Ecclesia as part of the preparation of seminarians for holy orders. This apostatic sentence would remain in the eyes of the faithful a "teaching of the Church", but it is in reality not only un-Catholic, even anti-Catholic, but also anti-Christian,which would cause immense harm to faith and morals if it were left in the Acta Apostolica.
