Many of you are stuck in a false-dichotomy, much like Republicans vs Democrats. Whether you admit it or not, your arguments expose the fact that you believe the pope is incapable of personal heresy. Such a belief is not a dogma, but a theory. Therefore, it could be wrong. Therefore, it's possible that the pope could become a heretic.
If the pope can become a heretic (and I believe he can), then the following is possible:
a. +ABL's back-n-forth arguments about the pope's orthodoxy finally make sense.
b. +the fact of the V2 popes being, promoting and condoning heresy makes sense.
c. Similar to the actions of Christ's day, Annas and Chaiaphas, were heretics for the Jєωιѕн people.
Assuming that a pope can fall into heresy (which dogmatic sedes deny),...then this truly answers the hard questions of our day...then 99% of Trads should get along.
Ultimately, Trads are separated by the devil...who uses the pope as a dividing point. We should be united by Tradition/doctrine; instead we are divided by a false understanding of the limits of an office. One side sees the papacy as an oracle who cannot err; the other side sees him as an oracle who cannot err. The same false theory leads to a division in Trads.
The answer is in the middle...The pope cannot err in certain things; but he can err in others.
Trads should be left to hope and prayer...hope in God's Divine Providence for His Church's future and prayers to ask Him for help in our time of trial.
I'm fairly certain that most sedes if not all do not say a pope can't fall into (public, manifest, not occult) heresy, but that if that were to happen he would no longer be pope.
I also think that most if not all don't focus on personal heresy but primarily point to Vatican 2 and their teaching thus as the Catholic Faith. They didn't fall into heresy but more than likely already were heretics at the time of their "election".
As for the comparison with the Jєωιѕн leaders, that just doesn't work. Everything about the Catholic Church, especially Christ's Vicar, is above and beyond what came before.
