Traddy Catholics on the ropes?

RE: Traddy Catholics on the ropes?
The history of the rcc’s campaign to consolidate local and regional spiritual leaders and centers through history would suggest as much - I think.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Then again, that's the main RCC acting on its desire for hegemony. Even if they thought any of these sedevacantist sects could have some real influence, does this mean they're right to think so?

I guess that’s where it gets into the weeds. Even if they weren’t right to think so, their efforts appear to have created the effect.

Historically, it was mixed, and we can add in a third general theme of missing movements that certainly mattered.

Whatever the distribution may be in the specifics, that history has, I think, left the institution with absolutely no patience for any repeat performances.

-all of this is explicitly from the administrative viewpoint. There’s the religion- the people, the culture, and then there’s the business of the religious state, as it were.

At best, I think the surviving sedevacantist movements tend to be more hanging on than catching on. They still exist, but they're not growing more popular. The numbers of groups will likely grow, but the number of adherents isn't likely to get bigger after their initial formation (except maybe from the members having kids and raising them into the horseshit). At least, that's what I see in sedevacantist groups today.

That's my impression, also, which is why, if they are going to survive in the religious marketplace, they need to consolidate. Besides, I think it would be cool if the RCC had some competition!

They do have competition. They’re called ‘protestants’.

I've heard that, in parts of France, the movement is fairly consolidated, but, of course, in America, there's a shitton of people vying for the title of antipope, and, of course, this makes the possibility of consolidation even more remote.
