Look, buddy, the bottom line is this: if a Catholic has a CMRI chapel within an hour's commute  - or the other option is to stay home like a dogmatic cultist schizoid, or go to a novus queerdo chapel - then his soul will be in far better shape through the graces bestowed upon him by assisting a true Catholic Mass and receiving the Sacraments. Otherwise, he would be committing mortal sin by staying home when he could be at a Catholic Mass, or committing sin attending a sacrilegious, calvinist, masonic service known as the "mass of Paul VI". CMRI are valid and Catholic. There is no evidence in their history to the contrary. That is the work of jewry and their General - Satan - who work to divide real Catholics an attack the true Faith.




Ascent states the issue about as well as it can be stated.

In his post against the Dimond fools, ascent describes some of the facts of the CMRI, namely;

*1) they are not organic, they cannot trace their lineage back to a member of the Church who was consecrated in the Holy Orders,
*2) the CMRI is not organic because it is 100% lay founded, hence lacking any authenticity and
*3) their monastery is no different than some bozo waking up tomorrow morning and allotting his barn and land for a few lay people to start their "monastery" while they call themselves "monks" and "brothers" and "priests".

1) They trace their lineage back to Bishop Francis Schuckardt who was ordained and consecrated in 1971 by Old Catholic Bishop Daniel Q. Brown, who traces his lineage back to Old Catholic Bishop, Arnold hαɾɾιs Mathew whom Pope Pius X himself excommunicated.

2) CMRI was founded in 1967 by lay man Francis Schuckardt. The CMRI officially trace their lineage back to this lay man. 

3) The difference here is that "some bozo" woke up one morning and ended up buying authentic Catholic buildings with all the authentic statues and furnishings and started a community - but he took it a few steps further by hooking up with and getting ordained and consecrated by a schismatic bishop, then called that community "Catholic".

The above are historical facts which are indisputable.
