The Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen (CMRI) (Latin: Congregatio Mariae Reginae Immaculate) is a traditional Catholic Sedevacantista religious congregation that rejects the authority of recent Popes, including Francis, and is dedicated to promoting the message of Our Lady of Fatima and devotion to the Virgin Mary according to the teachings of St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort, whom they consider as their spiritual founder. Over the years, the Congregation has also become known as the Crusaders of Fatima and the Oblates of Mary Immaculate Queen of the Universe. History
Francis Schuckardt The Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen was formed in 1967 in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, by Francis Schuckardt with the assistance of Denis Chicoine. In 1969, with the approval of Bishop Sylvester Treinen of the Diocese of Boise, Shuckardt formed the group within a religious congregation of sisters and brothers. With the implementation of the reforms of the Second Vatican Council, Schuckhardt and his group came to the conclusion that Paul VI was not a valid Pope and therefore sought priests who shared his theological position. In the early 1970s Schuckhardt was ordained a priest and bishop by Bishop Daniel P. Brown. In the late 1970s CMRI acquired the old Jesuit scholasticate of San Miguel del Monte in Spokane, Washington, which became the center of its congregation. In June 1984, Chicoine, with the support of most of the congregation's clergy and laity, expelled Schuckardt. This
