https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/canon-lawyers-and-theologians-to-hold-conference-on-deposing-the-pope Canon lawyers and theologians to hold conference on ‘deposing the pope’ Pete Baklinski PARIS, March 17, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) -- Canon lawyers, theologians, and scholars will be meeting in Paris in two weeks to discuss a topic that has never been the focus of a Catholic conference before: How to depose a heretical pope.
Titled Deposing the Pope: Theological Premises, Canonical Models, Constitutional Challenge, the conference seeks to explore the mechanisms that are built into the Catholic Church for dealing with a pope who openly teaches falsehood and even heresy.
Speaking at the conference will be University of Paris Professor Laurent Fonbaustier who published a 1200 page book last year on the topic that was titled The Deposition of the Heretical Pope. The conference includes 15 speakers who will be giving a range of talks on the subject matter with titles such as “Conciliarism and the Deposition of a Pope Through the Prism of Gallicanism,” "The Downfall of the Pope: Between Renunciation and Deposition," and "The Deposition of John XXII and Benedict XIII at Constance, 1415–1417."

Greatly distressing as it is, I think many Catholics would welcome a sign that someone with the authority to do so is attampting to rectify the situation in which the Church now finds herself, where large numbers of the Faithful can no longer look to the Pope for gudance and support.
