- His Excellency was kind enough to sit down for an interview and give an in-depth look at his journey from being a young Catholic in Chicago to running the largest Traditional Catholic congregation in the world.
The "down to earth" Bishop recounts many experiences including stating that he decided to join the seminary due to his time in public school.
It is a very nice listen and we thank the Bishop for taking time out of his ridiculously busy schedule to speak with us.
Please pray for His Excellency, Bishop Mark Pivarunas!
AMDG!
* A big thank you to Fr Zepeda and The Catholic Wire for helping make this possible!
God Bless Bishop Pivarunas.
Bishop Pivarunas has and continues to lay down his life for his sheep. Deo gratias!
Please pray and do penance for him and all true Catholic religious.
Best Bishop on earth 🎉
A HUGE thank you to Father Zepeda of the Catholic Wire for all of the technical setup and the location. This video most certainly would not have happened without him. Please be sure to checkout the channel. www.youtube.com/@thecatholicwire. Father produces consistent content that is absolute top-notch in its quality!
They are Banging... He sure had the experience of you in High School! Kick me out of the Church (not these two knuckle heads particularly) over Bunny Ears at 10 put up to it by some of our other kids! And now I realize, I should of been your ideological enemy for years over that! Guess I can just make up for lost time making sure to expel the fools you are to others. So... Who Killed Jesus? Okay, now... Who took over Christianity? Couldn't both be Rome? Could It? So the Guys that Killed Jesus! Better known as Randus, put together the Bible... And Run the Faith, and went onto Burn Millions on the Stake and the Sort often to False Confessions via Torture! Oh, Yes, you are the Moral Ones. What did Randus say, don't pray in the Woods! Go Pray in the Chruches of the People that Killed Me! The Bible is mostly a Story of One People, One Period, One Place! And it's surely lacking. Like the Flood, the Bible is missing Text Books worth of Information on that, while Randall Carlson isn't. And the Whole thing is predicted on a lie, who can self inseminate themselves and get pregnant, oh what's that word you are not allowed to say 🤔... But the have both, and you people are on board with the Operations at birth, 5% of them are called "True" than that word, and x amount of them are capable of such and those births, sometimes even Virgin, still happen. So we need to a Oppress a whole rare type of people, many versions of the Bible say are born holy, all too keep the lie you are predicted on. I'm not saying Randus (Jesus' better known name) wasn't special, but we both know you're still lying, and Punishing a People the Bible Calls Holy through Hell to do it. But you are the Moral Ones...
I can say so many great things about Bishop Pivarunas. It’s remarkable seeing how busy this man is and yet he will drop anything for those in need. He stepped up as a father figure for me and my siblings growing up and I wouldn’t be where I am today without him. I could never thank him enough! God bless Bishop Pivarunas!
I have seen this from him so many times over the years, what a great example he provides us! God bless you, Sam, and soon to be baby Welp!
Thank you, Boyd! Baby girl cant wait to meet you guys! God bless you and your family too!
Not valid bishop
@@auteliodelatorre1873any arguments?
God Bless the Good Bishop.
When the history of the Church for our time is written, Bishop Pivarunas will feature prominently.
If not here, at least hereafter
That history has been written and he does figure in as a hero. Read "The Resurrection of the Roman Catholic Church."
“To lay down my life for my sheep” how inspiring is that!
Once I was coming out of mass at St. Mary’s in Tacoma WA. His Excellency was in town, but I was unsure about the etiquette when addressing the bishop, so I avoided him. But as I walked out of mass there he was smiling, looking me straight in the eye. He must have sensed my discomfort, and he said, “How about those Seahawks!” I quickly forgot how uncomfortable I was and we had a nice conversation. What a gentleman. God bless Bishop Pivarunas.
I am not a sedevacantist, but it gave me great pleasure to hear of the great work His Excellency and the CMRI have been doing throughout the world for the sake of souls and preserving the One True Faith. May God bless them in all such endeavors! I fervently wish I could see more of their work and their missions in the US and throughout the world.
Why not?
God bless you. Rosary daily and Brown Scapular are wonderful.
God bless your open heart.
Terrific Interview / video. I'm from the south side of Chicago only a couple of miles from where the Pivarunas home was. They lived in a neighborhood known as Colonial Village, and my family in West Pullman, both definately 'South Side', as he alluded to! And, yes, we know each other. His Excellency covered his boyhood Parish and school, which was known at the time as, St Peter and Paul, which was predominately attended by Lithuanians. Our family attended the Polish church, Assumption BVM, which was probably not 3 miles away. This was right across from the Ukrainian Catholic Church, St. Michaels, which became home for us refugees in the early days of the Vatican Council II change implementation, which His Excellency referenced. My own mother, was aghast at white vestments and the other significant liturgical changes at the funeral of her father, who passed in October 1968. And because 40 hours Devotion was being held at our church, my grandfather's funeral was held at the Pivarunas' old Parish, St Peter and Paul. That became the single event that caused my mother to discover the errors of Vatican II, and to align with Fr. Dennis who had periodically been through on on speaking tours.
Althoughh I pursued the worldly life for many years, I came back to my Faith in 2008, serving daily Mass for Fr. Martin Stepanich, Bollingbrook, IL, until his death in 2012. I moved to Spokane recently and attend Mass regularly at Mount St. Michael. I thank God for the priviledge!!
You're doing a nice job! Thanks!!
I too was born on the South Side of Chicago 😊
Thank you for this wonderful podcast Kevin. God Bless Bishop Pivarunus, the priests, the religious, and people such as yourself that work so hard to help spread the Faith and encourage our growth in it. One more thing, as His Excellency said, I would be remiss to forget all the priests and faithful who remained steadfast in the Faith that came before many of us! What a beautiful example they are to us now. AMDG
God bless His Excellency Bp. Pivarunas. May the Lord grant him health, peace, and many more years of service to the Holy Catholic Church. I'm not part of his flock, but I'm very proud of him and the institutions he looks after.
God bless Bp. Pivarunas. 🙏💙 A faithful, humble, fatherly Shepherd.
I always enjoy the opportunity to listen to Bishop Pivarunas. Thank you for bringing us this wonderful experience! It is a comfort.
P.S. Thank you Kevin, thank you Bishop Pivarunas and thank you Fr. Zepeda.
Thank you! It's a blessing to hear from our wonderful Bishop
Beloved Bishop Pivarunas; It is such a pleasure to see you again. Fr. Denis stayed with us thirteen months, a true blessing. Our experiences are so much alike during the 1960's and 1970's.
So many of us were very confused for many years. God Bless you in your ministry.
Excellent job, Kevin! We are so blessed to have Bishop Pivarunas as a Catholic Bishop. It is truly a miracle that the Catholic Faith is being preserved in the aftermath of Vatican 2. Praise God for holy clergy of the CRMI, SGG, SSPV, RCI, etc!!
You’re awesome Kevin! God bless you for everything you give your time to!
Please allow me to second that motion
Agreed!
Thank you for that! Though I do a lot less of the work than it seems ;D But please pray for all of those who put their time into the channel with no other payment than glorifying God.
I remember Bishop Pivarunas when he was Father Tarcisius in the early 80s, so I'm guessing that makes me old. LOL! Its such a blessing and honor to have him for our bishop. ❤️
Thank you and God bless. Excellent video!! You are all in my prayers..
God Bless you!
His Excellency Bishop Pivarunas!
So excited to see and hear your story!
Can't say enough about the generosity and dedication of his excellency! 9 years ago he made a trip to Alaska for my family as we came out of a home alone crisis. I'm so thankful for everything this great shepherd has done for his flock
Excellent! It’s amazing to see the Church weather the storm of modernism. A remnant few had the courage to carry the torch of Truth. What is even more amazing is to live to see what is coming next.
That was a wonderful interview. God Bless the CMRI.
And Trento. I attend Mass at a Trento Chapel in Texas. Thanks to God and Bishop Pivarunas for the Consecration of Bishop D'avila .
Bishop Pivarunas confirmed me and I will kiss his ring every chance I get! God bless this Holy man!
Wonderful interview. May God Reward Your Excellency for sharing your story with us. Much appreciated.
Love listening to this great Bishop
Lord, thank you for Bishop Pivarunas
I love the fireplace. Good touch, Kevin.
This is my Bishop. His Excellency we pray for you. The Doctrine of Hell solidified my faith also Your Grace. God bless you.
I am honored & blessed to support His Excellency & the CMRI. I thank God I have a home in the True Church.
Had no idea he assisted at Fr.Leo Macnamara's Holy Mass! Wow. Bishop looks good for his age,hope he's able to Consecrate a successor in America.
He gave me confirmation
Bishop is the absolute best.
DOMINUS VOBISCUM BISHOP PIVARUNUS!
I just discovered your channel by "accident". Bishop P is truly living his motto. He's an example to the priests under his authority to lay down their lives for the flock. May God continue to bless him and the CMRI. Please pray 3 Hail Marys for him.
Thanks so much for this podcast! Such an inspiring story about Bishop Pivarunas's spiritual journey. My personal journey was attending "reverent" Novus Oro, Indult TLM, hoping between FSSP, ICKSP, and SSPX, fully commiting to the SSPX, exploring Bishop Williamson's apostalate, then finally coming to the logical conclusion and joined a CMRI parish. And I have the priests and religious of the CMRI to thank for my formation.
God bless the CMRI.
This Bishop is honest and humble. God must be very pleased.❤️
Thankyou
Heavenly Father, Jesus , Mother Mary , St. Joseph and Holy Spirit please guide and protect all our True Bishops who believe in you and your works.
I can't wait for CMRI to come to Goa. That way, I can make a monthly visit for confession and mass and also holy days.
God bless you for your service.
I live 2 hours away from Spokane and I will attend his mass soon...
Please pray for an increase in vocations to the priesthood in the Society of St. Pius V also. There are too few priests to serve all of their chapels.
There are more than enough Religious Sisters, but seminary is not doing well.
We at the Catholic Family Podcast hold Bishop Kelly and the SSPV in high regard and they are in our prayers.
It would be a major step forward for the entire Remnant Church if they would embrace the Thuc Consecrations and be united with groups like the CMRI, SGG, RCI, etc.
@@catholicfamilypodcast5501 I have no control over that. I assist at their Masses because they are valid, but I don't always agree with their policies. I do however, regard their seminary training as very good and the priests that come out of their seminary to be very well trained. Sadly, however, even though the Sisters convent is almost 100 Sisters strong, the Priests number fewer than 30. It's not a great situation because some of those priests are elderly and suffer from health problems, but are unable to retire. Bishop Kelly is retired by the way because he spends most of his time on dialysis. He has been poorly for the past decade, and has consecrated two bishops to take over the SSPV 'S day to day administration . The SSPV is now mostly run by Bishop Santay and Bishop Carroll.
It would be great if they would collaborate in some ways, but I am pretty sure that they won't because they believe that because Archbishop Thuc performed some consecrations of questionable characters for motives that seem to be less than honourable, they are all suspect. Thus, they hold Bishop Sanborn, Pivarunas, etc to be invalidly consecrated or worse, not Catholic.
With that being said, I regard the consecrations as valid, but definitely question Archbishop Thuc 's motives in consecrating some of the people he did. You have to admit that not all of his actions were above board. The question for me isn't whether Archbishop Thuc performed the consecrations correctly and had the minimum intention of doing what the Church does, but whether his motives were licit. It's a ginormous mess because of this problem. Unless this can be worked out between the three SSPV bishops and the other traditional Catholic bishops concerning those consecrations, then it will continue to be this way. They don't, at this point, see any compelling reason to change their position.
We're launching a major collaboration project soon and will reach out to Bishops Santay and Carroll, but we're not holding out much hope that they'll participate.
We can all pray for harmony and unity among the Faithful!
@@megangreene3955 Bishop Mendez & Bishop Lefebvre both either Ordained unstable men who did bad things after Ordination AND Bishop Mendez "New Rite Consecrated" & "New Rite Ordained" multiple times in the 70's 80's. My point,all 3 Bishops were fallible human made mistakes yet none of them are responsible for other men's action's after receiving Holy Orders. Without those 3 Bishops,we wouldn't have a Catholic remnant. The faithful at CSPV chapel I attend all accept Thuc Lefebvre Mendez lines as Catholic. That would be incredible if CSPV Bishops would work with Kevin & his family. God willing. Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam. CSPV & Thuc line could cross conditionally Ordain Consecrate each other,thus easing all doubts about invalidity. There are some who doubt the Mendez Kelly Consecration.
I would say it's time to leave the SSPV. The accusations they have against the Thuc line bishops is too much of a chip on the shoulder to fully trust them to lead you on the right path. If there's no CMRI, SGG, or RCI parish near you I understand why you would stay. Will keep you in my prayers as you make your decision.
Excellent
38:12 beautiful, BP Pivarunas. Those Priests that kept faith in 60s.
But all current Catholic clergy, sede, also. I cannot believe what I see, although I know it's happening. Stunning how Jesus is working this
I find it fascinating that he knew Fr. Leo McNamera and that he served in the Ukrainian rite as a youth.
I hope that SSPV priests will listen to this. Looking forward to the sequel!
Why are you hoping the SSPV listen to this?
@@roderunnr450 Probably so that they could recognize that we're we're just Catholics, despite what father Jenkins and company has to say about it
I am SSPV, but I do know that the CMRI is Catholic. However, I also know that the CMRI priests exit the seminary after only about 4 years with minimal training. The normal amount of time in the seminary is 7-8 years. Those 7 years are necessary formation.
Not all SSPV accept the position that the Thuc consecrations are invalid. I am one of those people. However, I feel that the lack of adequate training in the CMRI is a serious problem. I will remain in the SSPV for now.
@@megangreene3955 Kelly’s consecration is shaky and suspicious.
@@roderunnr450 there are unnecessary divisions between Lefebvrists and Thucites. I would like to seem them closed. A good way may be personal testimony such as this…
humble holy bishop, good stuff
Please pray for me
Talk about a Sunday NO "guitar" mass, I was at one last weekend, sadly. It's only my fourth time attending that church but the first time that the guitars were brought out, while I was there. Definitely won't be going back to it.
5:19 this story reminds me of very early Catholic history (in my mind, A model for sedevacantist). Stood up when he heard a heresy, said "WE HAVE NO BISHOP" and walked out
Saint Paul, if I or an angel from Heaven..
❤
Is this a first part or the whole interview? (Big Thanks, by the way 🙂)
More to come, yes. The coming portions of the interview will be more doctrinal in nature.
@@catholicfamilypodcast5501 Wonderful, thanks for these!
@@catholicfamilypodcast5501 oh fantastic!!
17:10 what Bishop Pivarunas said, I'm not saying what I think but what Church says. This is my experience of sedevacantist Clergy .... Very compelling. RR, A couple sentences, not in context.
Anyone here from South Dakota who attends the Mass in Newell?
1967 serious changes in Unchanging Faith video 4/50 Very Distressing as well as older brother pulled out of Seminary 8/22 after
two years conservative teaching followed by Drastic Change from Divine centered to mere human centered/Iconoclastic times
Ukraine Catholic Rite 10/35 do no genuflection but deep bowing down never realized this before
Recently discovered 2019 book Counterfeit Church by Radecki brothers who may be CMRI?
Would you please promote?
Does anyone else find it noteworthy that there's not a single mention of Francis Konrad Schuckardt in this video? Granted, the CMRI has significant changed since the eighties when they threw him out. But was he not their primary founder, leader, and the man who trained Bp. Pivarunas, Fathers Benedict, Casimir, Radecki, etc?
😢
Where is that Canadian parish church located that Bishop Pivarunas mentioned in this video, please?
London, Ontario. cmri.org/cmri-directory-of-traditional-latin-masses/cmri-traditional-latin-mass-directory-outside-the-usa/#NORTH-AMERICA
@@catholicfamilypodcast5501 Thank you very much. I live in Barrie, Ontario and I'm getting ready to move. Maybe I'll end up in London. Will definitely look to see what's available close to that church.
Does anyone know the name of the priest from New Zealand that his excellency referred to? Really want to know as I'm a sede from NZ. Thanks and God bless
Father Thomas C. Fouhy.
Currently I believe that is Fr. Brendan Legg
It's a shame what he did to Fr. Short and Fr. Crawford.
