If they're anything like my grandmother, who was a devout Catholic, they'll say the Pope needs to mind his own business.
Wasn't there a whole contigent of catholics that explicitly said the last pope was illegitimate? I figure they'll just keep playing that same tune until it's someone that's as shitty as they are. Then the same process that was "broken" before will suddenly be perfectly fine.
There's a conspiracy theory that every Pope has been illegitimate since 1958. The reasoning is pretty dumb, but I'll put it out here:
I'm not Catholic, but I can see the fallacy there.
Interesting enough, the sedevacantists think the entire line after 1958 are pure antipopes, there's a splinter group of sedeprivationists, who think like you said: the post-1958 line can regain legitimacy once they renounce the so-called heresy.
