People get really attached to they way they practice religion, and Vatican 2 changed the way many people practiced the Roman Catholic faith. I've heard tell of people leaving congregations because the hymnal was changed.
This is also not the first time in history when there has been dispute over whether or not the pope is really the pope. There is something "happy tradition" of popes and anti-popes in the Roman Catholic church. At one point, there where three competing Popes.
Most sedevacantists point to the Second Vatican Council (or Vatican II) as the reason for their split. What I find funny, is that Vatican II enacted many of proposals Martin Luther's 1517 letter. You know, the famous one nailed to the church door?
