"Just as it is licit to resist the Pontiff who attacks the body, so also is it licit to resist him who attacks souls or destroys the civil order or above all, tries to destroy the Church. I say it is licit to resist him by not doing what he orders and by impeding the execution of his will." - Cardinal Saint Robert Bellarmine, Doctor of the Church, De Romano Pontifice, Vol. I, Book II, XXIX
I would rather be dead than collaborate in the burial of the Traditions and the Sacred Patrimony we have received from Holy Mother Church. And anyone who does not think that way is not worthy of their Catholic Confirmation and their mandate in the Church Militant to defend the Faith at the cost of one's blood, if need be.

And anyone who does not think that way is not worthy of their Catholic Confirmation and their mandate in the Church Militant to defend the Faith at the cost of one's blood, if need be.
To such men who devise to destroy what is not theirs to destroy and to bury, I say: "Your authority means nothing to me if you choose to use it as a weapon against Holy Mother Church and all the riches She has bequeathed to us...and I will withstand you to face if you issue any command or decree, or any abuse and misuse of Canon Law, that is harmful to our Holy Catholic Faith and to the Traditions we have received from our forefathers over the centuries. Take your Vatican II Modernism and begone!"

Often people need terminology clarified. Many do not know the difference regarding assent. What is dogma, what is an encyclical, what is a decree, what is a papal bull, what is infallible, what is ex cathedra.
In this sense, confusion arises and ppl believe they must follow blindly without understanding , as I said, what requires assent.

Absolutely -- a Pope is not a Monarch with absolute authority and power. His authority is only to be used to preserve what he has received and to confirm the brethren in the Faith. Instead, the Popes since Vatican II have been using their authority to scatter the sheep and to destroy what had been passed down to them instead for its preservation until the end of time.
