Firstly, welcome to the site.
I have read Dupont's book many times. Yes, it will only get darker until God turns the tide, sending the much-prophesied Pontiff and King. IMO, this will likely be proximate to 21.21.2012. This is not mentioned by Dupont, but is something I have come up with after reading widely about these matters. That said, I could be totally wrong, and such would not bother me. Humanly speaking, it has been over for a long time. One of St. Pius X's right hand men, Cardinal de Lai I believe, stated as much at the holy pontiff's death bed.
There will be little incidents in our own lives that are positive, or give hope in a time of darkness, but, generally, the evil plans of men will continue to progress - until God sees fit to reduce them to ashes.
God speed - welcome aboard.
