A policy that bit the dust at Nuremberg. I'm pretty sure that Christ indicated that it always makes better sense to do the will of Father rather than any man.
Remember that men chose the pope, not God. A crappy pope is as easy to change as a vacuum tube. Use a hanky when it is hot.(Some remember those)

Many believe that the Pope is chosen by God through the Holy Spirit in the college of Cardinals. If you believe that and that The Pope is Christ’s Vicar on earth then you follow the pope.
Perhaps not all believe that a pope is Christ’s Vicar but some do and their willingness to follow him and believe what he says is following God to them and it is a reasonable for them to believe. We aren’t all Martin Luther are we.
