✍️ Note on the Main Author
The most recurrent author in the listed articles is Bishop Mark A. Pivarunas, a central figure in the Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen (CMRI). He serves as the congregation's Superior General. His religious life is intrinsically linked to Traditionalist Catholicism, specifically the sedevacantist position, which holds that the See of Peter has been vacant since the death of Pope Pius XII (or, for some, since Pope John XXIII). He was consecrated a bishop in 1991 by Moisés Carmona, who was in turn consecrated by Archbishop Ngô Đình Thục. This lineage (the "Thục line") is fundamental for many traditionalist groups operating without a mandate from the post-Vatican II Holy See. His work and writings are dedicated to theologically defending the sedevacantist position and preserving the liturgical and doctrinal practices of the Church from before the Second Vatican Council.
