You had to fabricate, "The Novus Ordo Church will collapse any day and SSPX will rule supreme"

No.

The form of words is mine. And I'll plead guilty to a charge of exaggeration with the "any day" remark.

However, the idea the the non-SSPX Church is in an advanced stage of a disease which will eventually prove terminal is pushed relentlessly on this forum. By you amongst others.

The "conciliar" Church is in an advanced stage of auto-demolition. That's Paul VI, not 'trads". Ratzinger himself just recently apologized for his part in the "ruins" we are standing in regarding Liturgy. Trads just see the same obvious reality in front of them. Your construction of "non-SSPX" and this imposed triumphalism that you are attributing to the SSPX is a pure fabrication on your part. It's reminiscent of pro-abortionists calling pro lifers. "anti-choice".

All you have to do is actually hear Bishop Williamson online or on tape giving sermons and interviews about the status of the Church and the role and function of the SSPX in the context of today. "By no means am I saying that all are Angels inside the society and all are devils outside the society." You will never hear anything from the SSPX regarding their "ruling supreme". In fact, if you actually knew what you were talking about you'd hear a lot of things that you'd find surprising about the reverence for the heirarchy and the SSPX knowing the limits of what they can accomplish during this time. I used to think and believe like you do. Then, I actually did my homework.
