Fr. Matteo and the Night Adorers of 1929 indeed found themselves in a much more admirable position when it came to the Catholicity of their pope, Pope Pius XI.
The dialogue in the devotion perfectly summarizes the Catholic position on the Pope. The Pope is Christ's Vicar, His Voice on Earth. He is the Supreme Legislator, and the Proximate Rule of Faith. What he says goes.
That has been abandoned after the death of Pius XII in practice and teaching. Consider the case of John XXIII. He promulgated a document on Latin...and it was promptly ignored. The schemas that he approved were rejected at V2. Paul VI's Humanae Vitae was largely rejected. The 1983 CIC is selectively ignored, etc.
V2 rejected the authority of nearly every Pope since 1700. This isn't about The Argentinian...it's about the conciliar church and it's schism with the Catholic Church.
In this discourse Our Lord is telling us that subjection to His vicar on earth is imperative for our spiritual health and He's assuring us that in doing so we will never be lead astray. Where then does that leave Francis? Is Christ then in agreement with Francis and St Pope Pius X at the same time. Two diametrically opposed teachings but somehow in agreement. Would Our Lord like us suffer from cognitive dissonance? I'd say Never. Even with the basics of Catholic faith ie, knowing the apostles creed and the ten commandments we lay folks can at least to some degree discern heresy against faith and morals when we hear it. I'd be inclined to believe that Francis wasn't included in the dialogue.
Very important article...I invite you to consider IF, a look at Revelation 10.1 and the 'mighty messenger', i.e., His true identity allows a third option...a veiled Jesus Christ the King reassuming 'direct operational control' since His delegated vicar has abdicated the office after abusing his authority.

Heartbreaking!
