2) More interestingly, on the theological level: theologians such as Billuart OP says that a pope falling in manifest heresy retains jurisdiction, not by right, but in fact, because that is God's will for the common good of the Church, until the declaration of the Church.

1) On the canonical level: A legal act is always presumed to be valid, and has to be proved invalid and declared so to lose its value. Otherwise it has at least an appearance of truth, known as titulus coloratus, which is enough to get supplied.

A common objection to the #CassiciacumThesis is: how can awful Bergoglio validly appoint cardinals, and the rest of it? The objection is actually badly put. Presumption is not against validity, but in favor of it. I will explain.

@AsTheRain1 @NovusOrdoWatch @AlbinusFalco @Vae_Victis_1958 @FrDesposito And I today confirm that this interpretation is also given by Billuart. I have never seen the other interpretation being given in theological treatises.

I read two days ago the same interpretation given by the dominican theologian Billuart. I have never read the other interpretation, given by totalists, in any theologian or canonist... Did anyone find something to the contrary? https://t.co/uV7pSXcA83
