Of course there are the Old Catholics, SSPXers, Sedevacantists and others who say the Roman church led by the Vatican has been apostate since the Vatican I Council.

I've seen that opinion expressed numerous times in this very forum.

So much for Roman Catholicism being the unified monolith it purports itself to be, eh?

Sedevacantism, the belief that the occupant of the chair of St. Peter is apostate or otherwise illegitimate, is considered an epithet by members of the SSPX, who pledge full loyalty to the Pope, while disagreeing with him on issues of obedience (rather than doctrine).

“Old Catholics” were once part of a significant schism in Catholicism. Today, there are few who haven’t gone fully Protestant, or been reunited with the Church... or simply died off. The name has largely been usurped by homosexuals, adulterers, libertines, pagans and womynpriests.

As for sedevacantists: the existence of a handful of schizophrenics and their families or sycophants hardly calls into question the authority of the Pope among Catholics. I’m not being mean or wild in my statement here: Most sedevacantist bishops probably know more sedevacantist bishops than actual congregants.
