1) Remind yourself that the Pope was probably mistranslated 2) Remind yourself the Pope isn't supposed to be infallible 3) Remind yourself that the Sedevacantists are taking new members

1) Remind yourself that the pope was probably misunderstood by liberals, or conservatives, depending on which side you are on, like as you do with their interpretation of church teaching, for which they often look the non-infallible words and actions of popes and prelates.

2) If the pope seems to be speaking as a liberal and you are a conservative, remind yourself that the pope was not speaking infallibly, then to counter him quote a conservative pope who also was not speaking infallibly.

3) If you are a liberal then remind yourself that the pope is overall making you feel even more comfortable. If you are a conservative, remind yourself that if the pope really is a far left liberal then you can become, even if perhaps informally, part of the SSPX or SSPV sects, or the beloved EO schism.

4) If you are a liberal then tell liberal Prots they are brothers, but warn them of the evangelicals who vote too much as a block against liberal PC politicians and oppose liberal values more than Catholics. If you are a conservative, continue to attack evangelicals as hopelessly divided and your foremost single theological threat, and promote the pope and prelates as the interpretive solution to sects and division.

LOL The pope is supposedly the "vicar" of Christ. A vicar (/ˈvɪkər/; Latin: vicarius) is a representative, deputy or substitute. Yet look at some of the things Catholics are saying about there current "Vicar of Christ".

That is what you call “the 360 of error.”
