1) Not so. The Novus Ordo has
never been infallibly sanctioned. The mass is illegal according to church law, but it is valid as ALB describes. The sacrifice is made and offered and where no Latin Mass alternative exists, one may attend (where dignity remains) praying, adoring, receiving the Body of Christ, yet seeking to make reparation for the degradations.
1 Thessalonians 4:3"For this is the will of God, your sanctification;"
2) As explained, the blindness to the validity of the popes and the need to remain subject and obedient to the Seat of Peter is a punishment. It is formed of pride and can be likened to a child taking pleasure in rebellion against his parent.
3) If you are blind, you cannot see.
4) ABL was sagacious but not infallible. He said:
"Our Lord has promised to be with him, to keep his faith, to keep him in the Faith - how can he at the same time be a public heretic and virtually apostatise?"
The answer to is in the question. Pope John Paul was neither a heretic or apostate. ABL was not party to all the pope was doing, his strategy and his inner intentions and also his restrictions by the super-force in the Vatican.
Pope John Paul stated in his speech at Assisi:
"With Francis, the saint who breathed the air of these hills and walked the streets of this town, let us fix our gaze on the mystery of the Cross, the tree of salvation sprinkled with the redeeming blood of Christ.
and diplomatically spoke of:
"a dialogue in which each one, without relativism or syncretism of any kind."

We are born into the Church. She communicates to us the riches of life and grace entrusted to her. She generates us by Baptism, feeds us with the Sacraments and the Word of God, prepares us for our mission, leads us to the plan of God: she is the reason for our existence as Christians. We are her children. With just pride, we call her our Mother, repeating a title which has come down through the centuries from the earliest times. She must therefore be called upon, respected, and served; for no one can have God for his Father if he does not have the Church for his Mother. One cannot love Christ without loving the Church Christ loves. The spirit of the Church is the spirit of Christ, and to the extent to which one loves the Church of Christ does he possess the Holy Spirit.
Pope John Paul II The mystery of salvation is revealed to us and is continued and accomplished in the Church, and from this genuine and single source ... it reaches the whole world. Dear young people, and members of the faithful ...
we have to be conscious of and absorb this fundamental and revealed truth, contained in the phrase consecrated by tradition: There is no salvation outside the Church. From her alone there flows surely and fully the life-giving force destined, in Christ and in His Spirit, to renew the whole of humanity, and therefore directing every human being to become a part of the Mystical Body of Christ."
Pope John Paul II That is clear enough to those who wish to see.
