“So do not make the mistake of supposing that evil men and their henchmen—— even wicked Popes -— are regarded as “true believers.”

Then would it not follow that their wicked directives should have not have been obeyed by those who were believers?
On what basis could a Catholic refuse to follow a decree by “the Vicar of Christ”?

No one is ever obliged to obey a sinful command, by anybody. But I think you already know that.
