Even back during the reigns of John Paul II or Benedict XVI they tended to practice Cafeteria Catholicism quite a bit. They loved to hit our side over the head with the Cafeteria Catholicism argument when it worked for them, but when either man did or said something they didn't agree with they'd ignore what the Popes said.

And now that we have Pope Francis pretty much everything about the Pope being infallible and we have to listen to the Pope went right out the window with many conservatives. And Francis himself is still fairly conservative. If he was half the liberal the right likes to accuse him of being we'd have female and married priests right now.
