In any event, if the Pope mandated that we stand on our heads and become Protestants, would you do it? (Of course, this will never happen, but it is a hypothetical).

Pope St. Pius X: Allocution of May 10, 1909

"Do not allow yourselves to be deceived by the cunning statements of those who persistently claim to wish to be with the Church, to love the Church, to fight so that people do not leave Her...But judge them by their works. If they despise the shepherds of the Church and even the Pope, if they attempt all means of evading their authority in order to elude their directives and judgments..., then about which Church do these men mean to speak? Certainly not about that established on the foundations of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone

I would do anything the Pope mandated but what you suggested isn't a hypothetical, it is an inanity.
