As a Priest Robert Prevost Knelt and Prostrated Himself Before Pachamama in 1995.—An act that constitutes the sin of idolatry and apostasy, a sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
The Magisterium of the Church has decreed that the elevation of a heretic to the papacy, even if he were elected by all the cardinals, is invalid and null.
Catholic Encyclopedia 1914 (Vol. 11, p. 456):
“It is very clear that the election [as Pope] of a heretic, schismatic or woman would be null and void.”
“Those capable of being validly elected are all who are not prohibited by divine law or by an invalidating ecclesiastical law… Those who are barred as incapable of being validly elected are all women, children who have not reached the age of reason; also, those afflicted with habitual insanity, the unbaptized, heretics, schismatics…” (Wernz-Vidal, Jus Canonicum 1:415)
“It is very clear that the election [as Pope] of a heretic, schismatic or woman would be null and void.”
“Those capable of being validly elected are all who are not prohibited by divine law or by an invalidating ecclesiastical law… Those who are barred as incapable of being validly elected are all women, children who have not reached the age of reason; also, those afflicted with habitual insanity, the unbaptized, heretics, schismatics…” (Wernz-Vidal, Jus Canonicum 1:415)
Apostasy from the Faith is defined as “the complete and voluntary abandonment of the Christian religion, whether the apostate embraces another religion such as Paganism, Judaism, Mohammedanism, etc., or merely makes profession of Naturalism, Rationalism, etc.” (Catholic Encyclopedia, s.v. “Apostasy”).
The First Commandment of God
Lesson 16 from the Baltimore Cathechism
205. How does a Catholic sin against faith? A Catholic sins against faith by apostasy, heresy, indifferentism, and by taking part in non-Catholic worship.
Sins against faith:
Apostasy: This is the complete abandonment of the Christian faith received in baptism; for example, Catholics who change religions or those who, without formally changing religions, have completely distanced themselves from the Catholic faith, falling into rationalism, pantheism, Marxism, Freemasonry etc.
