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.

I don't care what Williamson says and I don't care what you say. It's just so much chin music.

I look at actions.

When you act in a manner which defies the Pope and which subborns his ministry to your own personal judgement as to what constitutes Catholicism, that is triumphalism.

Unless I have completely misread 2-3 years worth of posts on this forum, then my original comment stands and I will restate it.

It is the thesis of a significant number of posters here (including you) that true Catholicism is found only, within the confines of SSPX. Further, this will become clear to all when the Church united to the Pope further deteriorates in membership and practice to the point where only SSPX is left standing as the bastion of the true faith.

Don't jerk me around with all this "you're making it up" garbage.

I've read plenty of Williamson's opinions, by the way. Are you on board with him when he says the Japanese were not the ones behind Pearl Harbor and 9/11 was not the work of al-Qaeda? According to your bishop, the government knows who did these things but won't tell us.

Just as a public service for the lurkers here, so we know exactly how tight that tin-foil is wrapped around your noggin.
