Re: "They want to suppress the Novus Ordo (just read their posts on this forum) and force the Church to disavow Vatican II's Decrees on Ecumenism and Religious Liberty."
There are many in the N.O. clergy - including Cardinals and Archbishops - who want exactly the same. Heck, Archbishop John Foley and Cardinal Pell are even spearheading a counter attack against Gaudium et Spes.¡¨
Well I don¡¦t know about suppress. Let us just say we want to give the NOM as much freedom of practice as the Latin Mass has been granted for the last 40 years. Does that strike you as fair? :-)
The news about the NO clergy including Cardinals and Archbishops is good news. I pray you are right.

That would be fair, but, realistically, I don't think suppression is ever likely to be on the cards. I think the best scenario that could be expected is the application of the wisdom of Gamaliel i.e. both rites are allowed to co-exist unfettered and whichever is more blessed by the Holy Spirit will be the one which prevails in the end.
The only way the N.O. could ever be supplanted completely would be if the Tridentine Rite were celebrated in the vernacular with a dialogue form of the Mass encouraged.
