How Would Roman Catholics Know When to Return to Pure Doctrine and Sound Practice? That is the question.

OK, let's say we're crazy and we suddenly see sense and decide to "return to pure doctrine".

In which direction would you point us? No, don't say "the Bible". That simply kicks the can down the road. This is precisely the point which the article is making.

Can everyone just take a deep breath and actually think about this for a minute?

Why don’t you ask to have this deliberately provocative and insulting article taken down. Take a deep breath first.

I hold out little hope, much of the ignorance here on the FR religious forum seems to be the very definition of invincible.

Wouldn't repudiation of the Decet Romanum Pontificem be a good place to start?

Start with the article on Justification (articulus stantis et cadentis ecclesiae) and work your way outward. Read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest Article IV in the Augsburg Confession and the Apology of the Augsburg Confession. Get Justification right, and correcting the abuses in the Mass, Penance, etc., will soon follow.
