However, the most “trad” group in the RCC, or some would say outside of it, since its canonical status is irregular and was for a time regarded as schismatic, is the SSPX, which entirely rejects Fiducia Supplicans and Traditiones Custodes and operates outside of Papal control.
At any rate insofar as there were traditionalists in the RCC who held an Ultramontanist view, the trauma inflicted by Pope Francis now has many looking for ways of canonically removing him from office.
To clarify for everyone, there is just one Catholic Church that is in every nation in the world. There is not, for example, a "Norwegian Catholic Church," the Church has many rites as well that are all within the Catholic Church. What is "traditional has different meaning to different people, when the U.S. government goes after "traditional Catholics" they may mean pro-life Catholics. Now in Norway the Catholic Church was not tolerated for a long time after the reformation, and today some of the pre-reformation orders, such as the Trappists, have moved back. So older versions of the mass may be more popular. As to Pope Francis, the manner in which he has tried to get out his message of mercy has caused great confusion and conflict in the Church. For example, the blessings were quite proper, hate the sin, love the sinner, so that the teaching was that any individual trying to resist sin was eligible for a blessing. His unnecessary and confusing statements have caused some to improperly interpretation.In the 19th century, the most traditional members of the Catholic Church were estranged by Papal Infallibility, which arguably resulted from the Savoyard conquest of all of Italy and the unification thereof, including the Papal States. These estranged members became the Old Catholics. Later, many of the Old Catholic churches of the Union of Utrecht were taken over by liberals, but as of now, thanks to Fiducia Supplicans and to a lesser extent, Traditiones Custodes,, the Polish National Catholic Church and the Norwegian Catholic Church are arguably more traditional than the mainstream Roman Catholic Church.
