Question:
Have there been popes who were heretics?
Answer:
No pope has ever been found to be a heretic.
The accusation is sometimes thrown around is that Pope Honorius was a heretic. However, he was never actually accused of being a heretic during his lifetime. Pope Honorius was condemned for not stepping in to stop a heresy and thus was considered guilty of its spread. He was not condemned as actually believing or teaching the heresy.
