Does anyone have a source for this quote, I see it all over the internet but can't find where he actually said it
“If ever a Pope, as a private person, should fall into heresy, he should at once fall from the Pontificate. If, however, God were to permit a pope to become a notorious and contumacious heretic, he would by such fact cease to be pope, and the apostolic chair would be vacant.” -St Alphonsus Liguori

Fr. Sharrock gives his source, in the footnote, #32, which is found on page 91 of the book. You can read the dissertation HERE I give forum member, Wenceslav, the credit for making this dissertation available.
