My thanks to Traditio Fathers for giving CMRI the credibility they deserve.

Bishop Mark Pivarunis of the Congregation of Mary, Immaculate Queen, Suffers a Heart Attack, but Is “Doing Well.”

From: The TRADITIO Fathers

We are informed that on December 6, 2018, Mark Pivarunis, the Superior General and bishop of the traditional Catholic Congregation of Mary, Immaculate Queen (CMRI) suffered a heart attack at age 60. Apparently, the cause was atherosclerosis, as a stent was placed in the artery, and he is reported to be “doing well.”

CMRI is one of the best traditional Catholic organizations around, and Bishop Pivarunis has shown himself to be a balanced, prudent, and charitable pastor din his dealings with his clergy and members. He often goes out of his way to service sites that desperately need a traditional Catholic priest, such as the traditional group that left Christ the King Abbey, when the Newchurch heretics immorally took over the abbey’s property after the death of Abbot Leonard Giardina in 2011.

According to the Official Traditional Catholic Directory, the CMRI has 49 Traditional Latin Mass sites in the United States, 16 in Mexico, and other sites in Canada, New Zealand, and South America. Bishop Pivarunis needs to give serious consideration to consecrating a potential successor at CMRI, as did Bishop Richard Williamson for The Resistance.
