Not much, if you can propose something better to put in their place.

You know the concept of a power vacuum, right?

Internationally recognized common law courts are exactly that.
Common law precedent can be applied to admiralty courts. The will of the people.

The previous pope resigned, because of a Spanish warrant for his arrest from this very common law court.

The only publicly defrocked Anglican priest in Canada had a direct hand in the removal of a sitting pope.

You must be thinking of the Catholic church.

A pope resigning in disgrace fits that description.
