Our Mission

The Committee for Mass Survival is an on-going (A) fact-finding,  (B) educational, and now (C) planning campaign, with  meetings at various locations in the southern half of Minnesota (excluding the metropolitan area).  The goal of the committee is to find effective means to sustain and promote the civilization which is known as the "West":  i.e., those areas where Latin-rite Catholicism was once foundational -- and must again be.

The Traditional Catholic Liturgical Year

Just as the Latin Tridentine Mass is filled with beauty, reverence and symbolism,, so too is the traditional Catholic Liturgical Year.  Each month and each day of the week is named for a special devotion.  We can join in the richness of our Catholic faith by following the days, weeks, seasons and feastdays of the traditional calendar in a natural rhythm that brings us ever closer to God and our Holy Mother Church. <More...>

 

CELEBRATING CATHOLIC FEASTDAYS IN THE HOME

One of the most enjoyable ways to teach our children the richness of the Catholic Faith and to keep them close to the Holy Mother Church is to fill their lives with the sacred and the beautiful.  When they are immersed in the reverence and silence of the Traditional Latin Mass, when they grow accustomed to the rhythm and rituals of following and celebrating the feast days, both at Church and at home, these traditions become such an integral part of them that the thought of not being Catholic will seem empty and meaningless. Traditions of not eating meat on Fridays, of eating animal cookies and hot <More...>

Sep 3 2010 - The Frankfurt School: Conspiracy to corrupt: Western civilization at the present day is passing through a crisis which is essentially different from anything that has been previously experienced. Other societies in the past have changed their social institutions or their religious beliefs under the influence of external forces or the slow development of internal growth. But none, like our own, has ever consciously faced the prospect of a fundamental alteration of the beliefs and institutions on which the whole fabric of social life rests ... Civilization is being uprooted from its foundations in nature and tradition and is being reconstituted in a new organisation which is as artificial and mechanical as a modern factory. Christopher Dawson. Enquiries into Religion and Culture, p. 259. Most of Satan’s work in the world he takes care to keep hidden. But two small shafts of light have been thrown onto his work for me just recently. The first, a short ar More...

 

May 29 2012 - Modern Man In A Jewish Age: The Necessity of the Sacral Monarchy in Western Christian Societies. The isolation of the soul begins with the rise of Jewish hegemony over Western Civilization. Prior to and even during Europe’s “emancipation of the Jews” in the 18th Century, Christian Monarchy providing stability and contentment ruled the Continent. It was World War I that marked the turning point in modern history whose deadly effects on modern man can still be felt today. With World War I’s end the great transformation of Western Society from Sovereign Kings “for the people” to Democracy—ostensibly, “in the name of the people”—that began with the French Revolution was completed. Four Christian Monarchies were annihilated at World War I’s end: The Habsburgs of Austria; The Romanovs of Russia; The Hohenzollerns of Germany; and south of Europe, the Kingdom of Greece. “Democracy”—though touted as marking the “end of history” in which no further political structure is desired—can be defined as any country ruled by Jews. For in a “democracy”—manipulated by propaganda and campaign funding—Jewry, which pulls the levers of the main stream media and political favors, determines democracy’s final end product: The Union of Synagogue and State. Now, this poses a dilemma for modern man. For modern man, immersed in the Jewification of his culture…useful to the Jew alone … dies a sure and certain death. This dilemma—the sickness of the 20th and 21st Centuries—can diagnosed as the “isolation of the soul” which finds modern man cut off from the one unique entity that historically has opposed the Jewish Imperative: The Church. Only one man, Russia’s president Vladimir Putin, is dedicated to restoring the Tradition of the Byzantine Christian Imperium, the “Symphonia” of Church and State, where a “Union of Synagogue and State” is forbidden. (It was Putin, remember, who purged Russia of the Jewish oligarchs and is reviving the Orthodox Church throughout the former, godless Soviet Union.) Only by a return to Sacred Monarchy and its alliance with the historic Church, fashioning a non-Judaized culture, can modern man live and breathe again. For in the polluted air of Jewish hegemony—with its negation of Christ’s Resurrection, and in its stead, homage before Holocaust monuments to the Jewish dead—a choking gasp for resuscitation is modern man’s last hope for survival.

Apr 1 1997 - Celibacy: Of Divine Institution If the Church has the right and power to abolish her own decrees, she cannot abolish those which have been indicated to her by Christ and His Apostles. This is what was affirmed by the Council of Carthage in 390 AD when, explaining the inviolability and the universality of the discipline decreed by the Nicean Council, the Fathers stated that celibacy is of Apostolic tradition. For instance, St. Epiphanius, Father of the Church, wrote, "It is the Apostles themselves who decreed this law." St. Jerome also testified: Priests and deacons must be either virgins or widowers before being ordained, or at least observe perpetual continence after their ordination....If married men find this difficult to endure, they should not turn against me, but rather against Holy Writ and the entire ecclesiastical order. Pope St. Innocent I (401-417 AD) wrote in the same vein: This is not a matter of imposing upon the clergy new and arbitrary obligations, but rather of reminding them of those which the tradition of the Apostles and the Fathers has transmitted to us. It cannot be more clearly stated. And there is a reason for the tradition. If in fact the foundation of clerical celibacy is doctrinal and not disciplinary, it is because the cleric in major orders, by virtue of his ordination, contracts a marriage with the Church, and he cannot be a bigamist. As our fathers in the Faith still explain it, these clerics are virgins in order to be true disciples and ministers of Christ, a virgin consecrated to His Spouse. St. Jerome, in his treatise, Adversus Jovinianum, bases clerical celibacy on the virginity of Christ. More...

Mar 2 2010 - "The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States, whatever the pretensions of politicians, pedagogues, and other such mountebanks, and that is its aim everywhere else…Their purpose, in brief, is to make docile and patriotic citizens, to pile up majorities, and to make John Doe and Richard Doe as nearly alike, in their everyday reactions and ways of thinking, as possible." H.L. Mencken got this one just about right (he often didn't) More...

Apr 27 2010 - non-Licensed to Kill: Resident Barack Obama has ordered the murder of an American citizen, without trial, without due process, without the production of any evidence. All it takes to kill any American citizen in this way is Barack Obama's signature on a piece of paper, his arbitrary designation of the target as a "suspected terrorist." In precisely the same way -- precisely the same way -- Josef Stalin would place a mark by a name in a list of "suspected terrorists" or "counterrevolutionaries," and the bearer of that name would die. This is the system we have now, the same as the Soviets had then: a leader with the unchallengeable power to kill citizens without due process. More...

 

Oct 15 2009 - Uriah the Hittite, “Permanent Deacons”, & The Prairie Catholic: The Scandal of a Sexually Active Clergy An open criticism of sexually-active deacons (i.e., "permanent deacons") and priests which Rome has allowed on shaky historical, canonical, and theological grounds. “It has NEVER been the custom of the Latin Rite to ordain clergy who would not promise celibacy. Never. Search the PG or the PL; search the early (ante-Nicene) council documents; regard the comments of Fathers of the Fourth Century, who attest to the longstanding practice by that time. What else can a logical man conclude save what this article articulates clearly?” More...

 

Sep 10 1975 - Did you know…?...The Earth is at the center of the cosmosThe red shift hypothesis for quasars - Is the earth the center of the Universe? Probability calculations are performed which demonstrate that 57 groups of redshift coincidences in a set of 384 quasars are real and cannot be attributed to chance. Physical explanations for these coincidences are considered on the assumption that the redshifts are cosmological in origin. It is found that the cosmological redshift hypothesis leads to a situation wherein the 57 groups of quasars a… More...
