So can a Pope be deposed if you're on Twitter if you're on Facebook and

Catholic circles with controversy surrounding Pope Francis you hear see people say well

church history? What if we look at theology? Can a Pope, the vicar of Christ, be deposed?

So today I have with me Eric Sammons and he is the author of the book Old Evangelization.

He's a convert to the Catholic Church.

He's a former evangelical. He came into the church in 1993.

He's the father of seven children and seven books. It's interesting

You looked at canon law, you looked at church history.

All these examples of both resignations and depositions or deposing.

I wanted to bring you on and talk about these topics

and let's just begin has there ever been a Pope who was deposed?
