Someone might say: if it behaves like a heretic, sounds like a heretic, etc it is a heretic! And if you follow the " ipso facto depositus " opinion, you would rightfully conclude to his non-papacy. But Billuart's point is: you need a declaration for legal consequences.

4) The papacy is a gratia gratis data, a charism given to one for the sake of others. As any grace, it does not do violence to human freedom, and has to be accepted.
