<> The Faithful have always been expected to faithfuly follow the Divinely-Constituted authority. There is nothing impossible about that. Jesus established His Church to operate that way.

What is impossible is to be "Catholic" and Protestant - like you and your ilk are attempting.<>

Catholics who insist on their own tradition and follow the megisterial teachings of the pre-conciliar Church, do not follow their own whims. By definition Traditionalists do not make up their own religion but insist on the true faith as it has been handed-down through the ages, not as it is made up on the spot. Your problem is that you identify the Pope with the Church. But the identity only holds when the papacy is in sync with the rest of tradition. It has no power to create its own doctrines and religion.

It seems to me that they are more akin to the Orthodox than to Protestants.
