The article found at Michael Scheifler's BIBLE LIGHT HOMEPAGE is not titled

"THE PROTESTANT PRETENDED REFORMATION IS NOT THE WORK OF GOD"

but rather

"A DOCTRINAL CATECHISM; WHEREIN DIVERS POINTS OF CATHOLIC FAITH AND PRACTICE ASSAILED BY MODERN HERETICS ARE SUSTAINED BY AN APPEAL TO THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, THE TESTIMONY OF THE ANCIENT FATHERS, AND THE DICTATES OF REASON ON THE BASIS OF SCHEFFMACHER'S CATECHISM BY THE REV. STEPHEN KEENAN."

is not titled "THE PROTESTANT PRETENDED REFORMATION IS NOT THE WORK OF GOD"

And note that the same STEPHEN KEENAN that the OP invokes also taught on page 112 of an earlier edition of this Catechism, the third edition of 1854, published by Marsh and Beattie of Edinburgh and Charles Dolman of London and Manchester,

Q: Must not Catholics believe the Pope in himself to be infallible?

A: This is a Protestant invention; it is no article of the Catholic faith; no decision of his can oblige, under pain of heresy, unless it be received and enforced by the teaching body; that is, by the bishops of the Church.

This catechism carries the enthusiastic approbation of four bishops. http://orthodoxinfo.com/inquirers/papaldogma.aspx

This was before V1 affirmed this "Protestant invention," which testifies against the pope being generally recognized as having the charism of individual infallibility and not being subject to councils.
