Funny, any true Traditionalist I know knows the Catholic Faith much better than any follower of the post Vatican II Church. This thread is just one example of this.
Post Vatican II : unbaptized infants with original sin (and for all intent and purposes) unborn babies can go to Heaven.
Pre-Vatican II: unbaptized infants can not go to Heaven.
Contradiction. Now the post Vatican II teaching is much more palatable, but I’ll stick with the Truth. Catholic Truth has never been easy.
He is the Successor of St. Peter, whether or not you are happy with Vatican II. Check what the Baltimore Catechism says about the Papacy. The Catholic Church is not a democracy. You don't choose not to follow the Church's teachings and be Catholic. If you question the Holy Father's Authority, Why not set your beliefs at the era prior to Alexander VI if you deny the Papacy? I understand that V-II turned a lot of people away, but denial of the Papacy is the same kind of disobedience that led to the Reformation.
Like it or not, that is what the Church teaches.
