If 2000 years of tradition and canon law was summarily dismissed as you claim and as it appears, the post-conciliar problem is much, much worse than I realized. The process of saintmaking has become a novel creation. Whether the Magisterium has the authority to reinvent Catholicism is the issue.
If I have time I'll go back and research the details. For now, you can have the point.
The so-called "Devil's Advocate" (a popular term for the Promoter of the Faith) is never even heard of until after 1512.
