We do not want to be a permanent separate jurisdiction. We’re not building an alternative church. We’re preserving the real Church until the institutional Church returns to itself.

Best Case Scenario: A future pope, let’s call him Pius XIII or Leo XV, recognizes that Vatican II’s implementation was a disaster. He:

• Restores the traditional Mass as normative
• Repudiates the syncretism of Assisi and similar events
• Condemns the blessing of same-sex unions unequivocally
• Rebukes the seamless garment, globalism, deistic syncretism, and Marxism
• Reaffirms that doctrine cannot change in substance
• Calls traditionalists out of the wilderness

At that point, we would petition for reunion. Our case: “Holy Father, we were faithful to the deposit of Faith when others abandoned it. We preserved the Mass when others gutted it. We maintained morals when others compromised them. We never claimed independence, only fidelity to Our Lord and King. What would you have us do?”

The answer might be:

• “Retire as a jurisdiction; your priests may incardinate in dioceses”
• “Become a personal prelature like Opus Dei”
• “Function as a uniate rite with your own bishop under Roman authority”

We’ll accept whatever an orthodox pope decides. Our goal is fidelity, not autonomy. We fear God, apparently more than those who venerate Pachamama and fly rainbow flags in their churches.

Realistic Scenario: The crisis continues. The institutional Church becomes more Protestantized, more woke, more syncretistic. A continue telos of apostasy. Traditional communities shrink under persecution. We continue as:

• A witness to what was and will be again
• A refuge for those fleeing spiritual desolation
• A home for cancelled priests
• A seed bank of authentic Catholicism
• Part of the faithful remnant

Worst Case Scenario: Things get worse. Persecution intensifies. Traditional Mass becomes effectively illegal. We operate like the early Church—house churches, secret meetings, minimal visibility.

We’ve done it before (17th-century Netherlands under Calvinist persecution, 18th-century under various revolutionary regimes, 20th-century under Communism). We can do it again.

We’re not just preserving old liturgy as museum curators. We’re trying to restore Christian civilization.

The Benedict Option Plus Engagement:

• Yes, build strong families and communities (Benedict Option)
• But also: engage culture, politics, education, economics
• Create parallel institutions (schools, media, businesses)
• Model an alternative to modernity’s dead ends

Principles:

1. God First: “Thy Will be done”, and the First Commandment lived with a daily morning offering and examen of conscience. A life that seeks to align with the Divine Will.
2. Family: The family is the fundamental unit; stronger families mean a stronger civilization
3. Subsidiarity: Decisions at the lowest competent level, not every problem requires federal or global solutions.
4. Authentic Christian Economics: Private property rights, the right to livelihood, and prosperity.
5. Christendom 2.0: Not medieval theocracy, but societies that acknowledge Christ’s social kingship
6. Evangelization, Not Accommodation: Convert the culture; don’t let it convert you, tolerance not equality with other religions that are morally compatible, socio-political rejection of those religions that are incompatible with Christian values.

Practical Steps:

• Homeschool or create classical Catholic schools
• Build businesses on Christian principles
• Create media that doesn’t compromise
• Enter politics to advocate for Natural Law
• Practice hospitality and community
• Have children and raise them in the Faith

We’re not waiting for the hierarchy to save us. We’re building the new Christendom from the ground up.

You don’t have to become Old Roman Catholic to be our ally. The fight for tradition, for sanity, for Christian civilization transcends jurisdictional boundaries.

If you’re Catholic:

• Seek out the traditional Mass wherever it’s offered
• Resist heresy in your own parish
• Raise your children in authentic faith
• Support traditional communities financially
• Study pre-Vatican II teaching; Read old books!

If you’re Protestant:

• Read the Church Fathers—recognize they were Catholic
• Consider what authority can withstand modernity
• Understand that sola scriptura produces 40,000 denominations
• The rapture is a 200-year-old invention
• Your movement is contrary to 3/4ths of Christian history
• Apostolic succession matters to the Body of Christ

If you’re secular but drawn to truth:

• Natural Law is accessible to reason
• Western Civilization is a Christian civilization
• The choice between Christian order and chaos is existential
• You need good religion to resist bad religion

If you want to join us specifically: Contact us. Attend a Mass. Meet our community. Ask questions. We’re small, but we’re growing. We’re serious, but not dour. We’re Traditional, but not sectarian.

Requirements:

• Acceptance of the Catholic Faith as defined by the 20 Doctrinal Councils
• Rejection of Modernism and post-Vatican II innovations
• Willingness to worship according to traditional rites
• Desire to restore Christian social order
• Understanding that we do not operate under Leo XIV

If you stay in regular diocesan structures, we understand. Canonical certainty matters. But:

Bear witness to tradition:

• Insist on reverent liturgy
• Teach your children the full traditional catechism
• Don’t go along with heresy for peace
• Form your conscience by pre-conciliar teaching

Support traditional communities: Even if you attend the Novus Ordo most of the time, occasionally attend the traditional Mass. Support traditional communities financially. Keep the flame alive.

Resist: When your bishop mandates something contrary to faith or morals, refuse. When he closes your traditional Mass community, protest. When he invites a heretic to speak, walk out.

Prepare: The day may come when you have to choose: communion with Rome or communion with Truth. The Pachamama and closing the churches during COVID were a wake-up for many. Know that there are Catholic communities outside Rome’s current administrative structure where the Faith is preserved intact.
