The Catholic answer to that question is not as simple as you believe. A Pope cannot do whatever he pleases. He must conform with dogma and tradition. What Pope Paul VI did in 1968 was similar to what the Anglican Reformers did in the 16th Century: they adapted the Rite of Priestly Ordination and the Mass to the Protestant theology, erasing all catholic prayers and keeping only those that the protestants could agree with. That is why Pope Leo XIII declared the Anglican Ordinations as unvalid and utterly void.
A similar thing happened to all of us in 1968: Pope Paul VI, with the help of Protestants, Jews and Freemasons, destroyed the Catholic Mass and rendered it's priests powerless. That is why the black shroud of Satan eventually succeeded in darkening the entire world. I am not a sedevacantist, because I believe that Popes can be erroneous too (the infallibility is only garantueed under certain strict conditions) and Pope Paul VI certainly was mistaken when he decided to protestantize the Catholic Liturgy. Thank God the Fraternity of Pius X kept to the traditional sacraments so they wouldn't be lost forever to the Church.
