Someone who thinks there is salvation outside the Church, someone who is coming from the Old Catholics (schismatics since Vat. I), and someone who rejects Francis as Pope, and who believes that BoD is a dogma of the Faith and belief in which is more necessary than in EENS, is welcome at CMRI.
.
But anyone who dares to hold that BoD is theological speculation (verifiably the truth) and not de fide, who is opposed to NFP as a matter of principle, or who assists at Mass in any chapel that could be called "Feeneyite" (by any number of criteria!) is automatically persona non grata at the CMRI sites. They have other forbidden topics as well. These are a sample thereof.

In my experience, CMRI groupies are all too eager to pick a fight with a visitor over the question of valid episcopal consecrations or valid priestly ordinations. They are all too prepared to go toe-to-toe against someone who dares to question certain things, some of which are of little or no importance such as BoD, while they consistently ignore our need to pray for the Collegial Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary -- even though they pretend to promote the (edited) Message of Fatima and the Queenship of Mary Immaculate (to whose Heart they deny awaits the consecration of Russia). One has to wonder if Bishop Mark Pivarunas were given the opportunity to consecrate Russia to the IHM together with the Pope and other bishops of the world, whether he would refuse. They interrupt conversations, acting like Communist informants, in an effectively de facto effort to control freedom of speech within property limits. This is made obvious by the fact that their priest will later approach you and request a private meeting in the back office, when he will inform you that certain things cannot be discussed on their property, which see, and if you don't conform to this rule, you will be forbidden from attending the chapel. That is because the priest was informed by one of his groupies of the conversation you were having with a friend.

Their behavior is far more like a trepidatious cult than like a truly Catholic group.
