The author subscribes to the false belief that the Crisis wasn't due to Vatican II itself, but due to its subsequent, false interpretation (aka "The Spirit of Vatican II").

So every priest, bishop and, most importantly, pope since Vatican II have falsely interpreted what is supposed to be an Ecumenical Council of the Catholic Church.

This is called the blind leading the blind.

You write “every” .... Yes I will admit that the majority of the priests and bishops have followed the “spirit of Vatican Two”, but many have remained faithful to the actual documents of the council, including the popes up to the non-canonically elected, cardinal Bergoglio.
The quoted prophecy of Saint Francis tells us that we deserve a false pastor who will give us what we want, a Christianity without the cross, which will lead to our destruction. The great majority of Christians and Catholics today will willingly follow Bergoglio, who I believe is the false prophet.
Many of the references in the article respond well to your objections.
You throw out the council, but now you feel your group is infallibly guided just as the protestants feel they are infallible. There are more than 30,000 independent protestant groups in the USA alone, all with the same Bible, they claim the same Jesus Christ and God, but very often interpret many important passages in the Bible in contradictory ways. As I wrote in my comment about most protestants were in agreement with not using contraception up until 1930.
Yes we are in difficult times, but I am not going to abandon ship on the starboard side or the port side, but I will remain with Mary at the foot of the cross as the Body of Christ is being crucified!
I see written: “Loose lips sink ships”. Yes those who follow loosely the teaching of the authentic magisterium of the Church, fall very quickly into their own subjectivism and relativism which is not the “truth which sets us free” (Jn 8:32).
