P.S. I downvoted you because you are a member of a false religion posing as a Catholic; and even worse, peddling your BS on a Catholic forum.
Is that so? That's a serious and slanderous claim, why don't you try to prove it by quoting theological sources like I do? But you will never be able to, so it's just dishonest and libelous from you. I would die rather than deny any True Dogma of the Catholic Faith, your pet "dogmas" like schismatic sedevacantism don't count. Meanwhile, if you hold to a supposed 66 year interregnum, you're the non-Catholic, because that is heretical. The reasons why I've explained in the relevant thread, and are well explained in the Indult traditionalist literature. Even SSPX Priests have been convinced/persuaded by it, which is part of the reason why many SSPX Priests are now effectively Indult traditionalists and desire full communion/unity with Rome. You aren't, miss, because you either don't read, or don't know enough, or don't seek the Truth, or all of those.
As even some sede posters here have said, attrition rates in some rad trad/sede families is 50% or more, which means half the children or more leave the Catholic Faith entirely. You can keep putting your head in the sand and thinking an almost 70 year interregnum is not a problem or has nothing to do with that if you want, but you've been proved wrong, and will be proved wrong more in the future. Many have already and rightly left sedevacantism because of it, including Priests, and I foresee more doing so in the next 10 to 15 yrs. A 70 or 80 year interregnum? Pathetic.
For traditional Roman Catholics who know communion with Rome is part of being faithful to Tradition, we will continue to do our best both to make Tradition more widely available within the Church, and to ensure the Good Cardinals/Bishops like those I mentioned - and adding Bishop +Athanasius Schneider to the list - have widespread support, get appointed to high positions in the Church, and hopefully elected one day to the Papacy. The good works the FSSP and Indult Traditionalists have done in the past 35+ years have already benefited millions of souls and will continue to. I also encourage those who actually want to understand the Indult position rather than just strawman it to read Fr. Ripperger's actual writings like, The Merit of the Mass:
https://unavocecanada.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/The-Merit-Of-A-Mass.pdfhttps://unamsanctamcatholicam.blogspot.com/2023/08/on-superior-merit-of-traditional-mass.html We hold the TLM obtains more graces than the NOM does, and therefore informed Priests should indeed offer the TLM, if possible in their Parishes, or else in Traditional Fraternities like the FSSP. But the faithful, if the NOM is the only Mass available, may indeed go to it, as pwn said above, a position which follows logically from the right opinion that the NOM is only inferior to the TLM, but is not heretical, blasphemous or sacrilegious. The "40 km rule", once given by Archbishop Lefebvre, shows His Grace himself once held the Indult traditionalist view of the New Mass and Sacraments (a view he also signed in the May 1988 Protocol), which those who deny will hardly be able to explain the reasons for what he said:
"Make every effort to have the Mass of St. Pius V, but if it is impossible to find one within forty kilometers and if there is a pious priest who says the New Mass in as traditional a way as possible, it is good for you to assist at it to fulfill your Sunday obligation."

Meanwhile, those who encourage at least weekly Mass, and Sunday communion, even if it be at the NOM, if not daily Mass, see higher rates of perseverance in Faith.
Here's the 2nd quote from +ABL: "Should all the world’s churches be emptied? I do not feel brave enough to say such a thing. I don’t want to encourage atheism."[10]
