@AgborD That is why while in the political order we could be obliged to follow certain laws promulgated by an illegitimate government because of the common good; in the ecclesiastical sphere there is Authority when Christ is habitually with the Pope; if he is not, then there is none.

@AgborD Because in the Church, order to the common good is not what consitutes authority, but only a condition for it. All of this is explained at length in the first Cahiers de Cassiciacum.

@AgborD No, that would be a naturalist conception of Authority in the Church. That would be true of illegitimate government (such as communist government), where we sometimes have to obey some laws, for the common good; but that is not the case of Authority in the Church.

Just a precision here: Billuart consider that the then manifest heretic would not be pope anymore, but would still exercise jurisdiction for the common good of the Church.
