Then they'll come back and tell you you're in schism for disagreeing with them.

Schism over altar girls? You're kidding, right? That would put the Holy See in schism with itself: "nor require that priests of the diocese would make use of female altar servers, since 'it will always be very appropriate to follow the noble tradition of having boys serve at the altar'" (Card. Medina, Letter 2001).

Your job is pretty simplistic: Remain non-committal, pretending loyalty to the Roman Pontiff. Comb through the old documents as well as through the new documents; extracting selected texts from both which, when played off against each other, lend to the appearance that there are available to the faithful only two practical options:

1. Buy into Sedevacantism, or

2. Buy into the New Theology of a counterfeit Church.

Of course, while all the acting as if you believed neither is an option. As for myself, I would firmly state that I would without a doubt reject either option.

I have no real confidence in your sincerity. I would love to be proven wrong on that score.
