Catholics didn't resist anything from a pope in teaching, liturgy or discipline.
Neither do R&R Trads today, because there is nothing in V2 that is binding on anyone’s conscience. And the new mass is not obligatory. +Vigano’s view of new-Rome agrees.

The period of Arianism is even MORE similar to today when you view that Honorius’ lack of condemning error (while never officially condoning it) created a chaos vacuum where the catholic faithful/clergy didn’t have a clear authority and guide. So what happened? This left the Arian clergy free reign to assert authority and declare Arianism to be true (I’m sure they used Honorius’ words against him), just like the Modernists bishops used V2’s ambiguity against the faithful and also Paul VI’s contradictory statements on everything. In the end, both then and now, the evil bishops/priests were the ones that corrupted the people. The popes created confusion by lack of leadership (Honorius) or by a contradiction (V2 popes). But OFFICIALLY neither Honorius nor the V2 popes have ever commanded sin or error to be accepted.
