I don’t believe the Church has a teaching on dinosaurs. There’s no reason to.

If they ruled the earth, it would have been due to numbers and, in some cases, size.

There are a lot of good books & videos on the dinosaurs. Check your local library.

the Church has no teaching on dinosaurs.

Why did they rule the earth?

I don’t think I understand your question. There is no “why”.

Some of the species of dinosaurs were the apex predators in their environment. Others were not.

The Church itself has been called a dinosaur for not caving in to modern times. I take it as a compliment , not an insult.

Some SSPX don’t believe they existed.

 

[JanSobieskiIII]

Some sspx are fools then. No better than the answers in genesis crowd.

 

[Maximilian75]

Honestly the most believable SSPX belief

 

[Dan_Defender]

There is no Church position on that. And if you go farther in time the fossil record shows that the trilobite, a marine species, ruled the seas and the ‘world’ as it were.

Why not? Now we have fossil fuels and birds and stuff

 

[BlackFriar]

God was obsessed with them at the time?
Like that phase kids go through.

 

[TheOldColonel]

Their main purpose was to confuse biblical fundamentalists.

dinosaurs lived during a certain (very long) period in history; they are gone now (thank you)

just like many species
