It is hard to find examples of a pope exceeding even the near infinite authority of the papacy, but Pope St. Pius V managed when he tried to bind his successors as to rubrics which is a prudential and not a doctrinal matter. If that makes no sense to you, perhaps it will explain the state of confusion that leads you to defend the schismatic SSPX enemies of the Roman Catholic Church. Taste is not doctrine.

Defending the traditional liturgy is NOT coequal to defending the SSPX. You have an idee fixe, BE, maybe its time to dismount your high hobbyhorse.
