Re: Catholics less nutty than Protestants: more evidence
"Acknowledgement=obedience"
That's an extremely dangerous statement. Blind obedience is never owed to a human authority. One must have reasoned obedience. And when one Pope contradicts another Pope, one must make a decision based on reason, as the authority of one Pope does not supersede the authority of another at any point in time.
The Society of St. Pius X has never declared the new mass as invalid.
As for Canon law, the Pope is subject to error. His final verdict cannot be overturned by any power on Earth even when wrong, but it is still not true according to the law of God.
