If anything, the Popes abandoned the Holy Spirit during the second Vatican Council and did the work of men. It's a very interesting subject to study, in which you will find that the Holy Spirit was still there preserving the church, and that all of the errors of Vatican II were already condemned. Strangely the Popes did nothing after Vat II when things were getting worse in the church even after drawing a connection to the council. Have confidence and much peace. Don't let anything agitate you or take your peace. This is just another trial the church is going through like so many before, such as the Arian heresy, but this time it's more like the church is on the cross than just scourged, because we are dealing with the synthesis of all heresies. Pray the Rosary, if possible 15 mysteries per day, pray for a holy Pope, Bishops, and Priests. And get a Douay Rheims Bible with the Haydock compiled Commentary.
My apologies if it took me awhile to respond to your post and others like it, simply because I do not know yet how to respond during this period and that I am kinda in shock due to the immaturity of my journey, before I came to a realisation that I am in a Traditional Catholic forum
. Shocked, not because I have not heard of 'Traditional' vs 'Progressive' Catholics on the media, but rather shocked that the 'divide' includes the Divine Mercy as well.
Can we safely assume that despite the 'divide', that saying the Divine Mercy at 3pm is harmless while we continue with the Rosary in the evenings? Truth be told, I don't think I am ready to take on any sides or study the trials going on within the Church yet. 
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Traditional Catholics eg. we should be kneeling and receiving communion on the tongue, etc. As a matter of fact, I think that is the most beautiful way of expressing reverence for the Body of Christ. However, our priest in RCIA did kinda express a slight disdain for that form of reception due to 'hygiene' reasons because of Covid. I think he did mention that if we must have that kind of reception of the Holy Communion, we should be the last in line, in consideration of those who wishes to receive in the hand. I couldn't seem to bring myself to receive on my knees and on the tongue, truth be told...I am kinda shy since everyone is receiving in the hand
