I wish you would reference the source of the alleged Pope's quote so that we can proper research your claim.
For the record, the Catholic Church does not call Protestants traitors. Instead the Church teaches:
Furthermore, many elements of sanctification and of truth are found outside the visible confines of the Catholic Church: the written Word of God; the life of grace; faith, hope, and charity, with the other interior gifts of the Holy Spirit, as well as visible elements.
Christ's Spirit uses these Churches and ecclesial communities as means of salvation, whose power derives from the fullness of grace and truth that Christ has entrusted to the Catholic Church.
All these blessings come from Christ and lead to him.
With love in Christ.

He doesn't. Following is the Catholic teaching on our relationship with non-Catholic Christians
However, one cannot charge with the sin of the separation those who at present are born into these communities [that resulted from such separation] and in them are brought up in the faith of Christ, and the Catholic Church accepts them with respect and affection as brothers . . . . All who have been justified by faith in Baptism are incorporated into Christ; they therefore have a right to be called Christians, and with good reason are accepted as brothers in the Lord by the children of the Catholic Church

Honey, the Pope didn't disown Protestants. THEY disowned him.
That's why they call us Papists.
Many popes have been busting their butts trying to please the Protestants. In fact, the Methodists, last I heard, were pretty close to coming back into communion with the Holy See.

He does not. We Catholics consider Protestants our brothers and sisters in Christ.
