Yes, but he is the FORMER nuncio, and also the Pope has stacked the college of Cardinals with extreme liberals.  

Yes, and yes. "...the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.", however.

Coming of a second schism ?

That would suck, but still there are worse outcomes, like the one described in the Book of Revelation.

With the top guy clearly recognized by many to be wrong and corrupt, it makes more sense how the catholic church's relatively recent apparant untraditional activities could come about.

In China, for instance.

I don't see what is the problem. Transgenders are people.

So are all sinners.

By definition aren't all popes tyrants? I was under the impression that the pope did as he wished, answerable only to his interpretation of God?

The Roman Catholic church is not a democracy. She is hierarchic. The Pope is as much of a dictator as the father of a traditional family is. Fathers could overreach from time to time. So Popes.

There are opinions about how a Pope could cease to be Pope when defending doctrine that had been defined as heresy in the past.

Here is a light read that discuss the question.

Quote

“Obedience must have its limits, beyond which guilt begins.” 

In that article there is a quote of Cardinal Burke:

Quote

“If your bishop, or the supreme pastor of the Church, is affirming things not in accord with Sacred Tradition/the deposit of the faith, that can’t command your obedience. You can’t command obedience to do something against faith & morals"

So, the Pope could do as he wishes, but within those limits.

Yep the Pope can pretty much do whatever he wants.

There are consequences, both in this life and in the other.
