But Catholics never post threads that belittle Protestants.

It certainly IS doing that in a backhanded way, but, hard as it is to believe, this is a Roman Catholic posting a thread that belittles other Roman Catholics who don't agree with him and others that since Vatican II the church has been in error. They don't like the ecumenical flavor to what this new Pope, especially, communicates. They are the ones to whom extra Ecclesiam nulla salus is STILL the rock they cling to. Pope Francis, much to their consternation, is WAY too welcoming to other Christian traditions and the changes made to the Catechism incorporating Vat II, referring to its changed text as "reformulated positively", is rejected.

Their dilemma, of course, becomes which dogma to discard - that the Roman Catholic church is infallible or it made errors? Is the Pope the Vicar of Christ, successor to Peter, or did/can "they" get it wrong sometimes?

No dilemma whatsoever, since dogma is immutable, VII was pastoral (not infallible) and popes are only infallible under specific conditions.
