Having the keys doesn't mean a pope may act as a law unto himself. He may not oppose the faith. If he does, he needs to be called on it.

My only criticism of JP II is he’s not a strict disciplinarian. But then again, not many Popes have been. To suggest he opposes the faith is simply not true. This attitude is similar to some of our Protestant friends who get a new preacher then decide his preaching doesn’t line up with their view of scripture. They either form a committee to run him off or simply find another Church that line up with their view. Seems to me you’ve found another Church.

On January 18, 2003, the Secretary of Vatican's Ecclesia Dei Commission, Msgr. Camille Perle, speaking for Cardinal Hoyos and responding to a query by a traditional Catholic, wrote the following: "In the strict sense you may fulfill your Sunday obligation by attending a Mass celebrated by a priest of the Society of St. Pius X." Not even Rome dared claim those who attend such Masses were not Catholics. So what is your claim that I've "found another Church" based on?
