On what do you base this statement?

Has there ever been a legitimate resistance to obedience to a Pope in the history of the Church?

"On like manner there are two reasons, for which a subject may not be bound to obey his superior in all things. First on account of the command of a higher power." St. Thomas, II-II q. 104 a. 5
