I don’t know that the Papacy has ever been about that though
That the papacy isn't about speaking out when the world in the eyes of the pope is taking a turn away from the catholic moral principles?
Given how those virtues have changed over time and how badly behaved a large number of popes have been, yeah, no. The more cynical read is that the Papacy has for a very extensive period been about increasing the personal worldly power of the Pope and his close associates.
