Your pictures are amusing but they have nothing to do with SSPX which follows JnPII when he is not leading his Church astray or making false declarations that can't be backed up by Tradition. Catholicism is above all a faith, not a pope and not fancy Roman palaces. Popes make mistakes--when they depart from Tradition and attempt to introduce novelties as this Pope and Paul VI have done. As the First Vatican Council put it, "The Holy Spirit was not promised to the Successors of Peter that by His revelation they might disclose new doctrine." Popes are divinely protected from error only when they remain within the bounds of Catholic Tradition and not when they stray as this Pope does intermittently. So reread the article and learn something.

You misread (why are we surprised) the meaning of the sentence you quoted from Vatican I. The meaning is equivalent to: "....... that by His revelation they might (sell bubble gum)" That is to say that the Holy Spirit was promised to the successors of St. Peter to protect against error. This is not an invitation for you to pick or choose what YOU THINK is error but an invitation for you to submit to papal authority and the dogmas of the Church not for you to be a cafeteria type adhering to whatever pleases your rarified tastes and self-importance.
