Is this some sort of recent, brilliant insight heretofore not known, except be it for the enlightenment gifted to us by the Conciliar Church?

There is no such thing as the "Conciliar Church", unless you are referring to Archbishop Lefebvre's schismatic organization. There is only the Catholic Church, and St. Paul did not live after the Vatican II Council, I hate to remind you. Please read the Epistle to the Romans. As for the Pope, I think he has done quite a bit to shore up orthodoxy in the Church, much more than the schismatics who are intent on destruction of the Church. And even if he was an awful Pope, he has taught no heresy. Being an ineffective, incompetent or even sinful Pope does not justify rebellion against legitimate authority. Again, one goes back to the crimes and misdemeanors of the Renaissance popes. People from Luther and Calvin onwards use their wrongs to justify their rebellion against the One True Church. The SSPX are nothing more than Luthers and Calvins in the current day.

"There is no such thing as the "Conciliar Church"..."

There is a Conciliar Church that attempts to reinterpret difficult doctrines in order to make them more palatable. It seeks to reconcile (key word here) doctrine with their progressivist ideas and philosophies; there is a Conciliar Church that develops a liturgy that is more compatable with these ideas and philosophies, and more conducive to a lifestyle that is more worldly and less spirtually oriented towards eternal life.
