It's weird to see the traditional roles getting reversed here

Where the established order would usually represent the conservative side of the schism, here the conservatives are the schismatics with official doctrine, to the degree of even rejecting official decrees where it suits them or even if it really doesn't just because they hate modernity (see the weirdos still using latin despite not understanding it at all)

Yeah, because they aren't actually conservative. They're regressive, if anything.

For these guys, if the Pope disagrees with them, then they'll reject the Pope. Most of them probably already identify as Christian, not Catholic, anyway. (They probably wouldn't say Protestant, if they were more specific it would probably be because they were Baptists or something.)

I’ve been hearing people say “not my pope” for years now. Oh, and that Jesus was too “woke” and weak, turning the other cheek.

It happens in Catholicism sometimes because liberal Catholics just ignore shit and get ignored until they start leaving. The church has understood this since the Protestant reformation.
