You’re one? If so, and that’s what you believe, why are you on it?

As for me, I obey the Word when it says to give a reason for the hope that is in me. I think this colossal failure of the pope and the modern magisterium is permitted by God exactly for the purpose of refocusing the hopes of the largest single segment of Christendom. Somehow, being right with God is more than just being the people who are calling themselves the leading members of the church.

As you know, we Catholics look to supplement Holy Scripture, with help from teachers, writers, saints, priests, etc., perhaps more so than Protestants. So, we must be honest with ourselves: the lack of clarity from this pope, the supposed top Church teacher, forces us to focus elsewhere for guidance.
