NB: Please forgive any sedevacantist references. This YouTube channel is sedevacantist but has many good videos on Catholic topics. They also promote and support Fr. Hewko's apostolate, who is not sedevacantist. Fr. Hewko continues the prudent position of Archbishop Lefebvre, summarized here [and see also here]:
"Unlike sedevacantists, we act vis-a-vis the Pope as vis-a-vis the Successor of Peter. We address ourselves to him as such, and we pray as such. The majority of faithful and traditional priests also feel that it is the prudential and wise solution: to recognize that there is a successor on the throne of Peter, and that it is necessary to strongly oppose him, because of the errors he spreads." ("Apres les ralliements sonnera l’heure de vérité," Fideliter 68, March 1989, p. 13).
Also, this video of the Assisi meetings (which began under Pope John Paul II and were continued through to Benedict XVI) is a good reminder that all the post-Conciliar popes have given great scandal, well before the Pachamama of Pope Francis. There is a trend that vilifies Francis exclusively and simultaneously exonerates the other Conciliar popes or white-washes them.

"So let us be confident, let us not be unprepared, let us not be outflanked, let us be wise, vigilant, fighting against those who are trying to tear the faith out of our souls and morality out of our hearts, so that we may remain Catholics, remain united to the Blessed Virgin Mary, remain united to the Roman Catholic Church, remain faithful children of the Church."- Abp. Lefebvre
