In support of the judgement that Karol Wojtyla cannot be the Vicar of Christ, I propose to establish these points:

1. Catholics may (and must in many cases) assess whether a claimed prelate really possesses authority in Christ's Church.
2. Heretics are baptised men who doubt or deny at least one dogma, whilst retaining the claim of being Christians.
3. Manifest heretics are heretics who have severed their external bonds of union with the Church, and are therefore not Catholics.
4. Manifest heretics can be known with certainty as such, by various external indicators.
5. Manifest heretics cannot possess authority in Christ's Church.
6. Karol Wojtyla is a manifest heretic - indeed, he is a notorious heretic.
7. Karol Wojtyla is not the pope.
8. If Karol Wojtyla is the pope, then Holy Church has defected, that is, failed. This is impossible.
