Francis Schuckardt
Francis Konrad Schuckardt (July 10, 1937 – November 5, 2006) was an American Traditionalist Catholic independent bishop.
Schuckardt is described by Michael W. Cuneo as "the rock-and-roll outlaw of Catholic traditionalism—the bad influence that people somehow can't bring themselves to stop talking about. During the late sixties and early seventies, Schuckardt almost single-handedly founded an influential community in the Pacific Northwest that was characterized by a peculiar blend of Catholic survivalism, paranoia, and lockstep dogmatism." Schuckardt was noted in 1997 as being of "immense symbolic importance" to the Catholic extreme right, despite the fact Schuckardt had "spent much of the past decade either on the run or in hiding".
Francis Konrad Schuckardt was born in Seattle, Washington on July 10, 1937 to Frank and Gertrude Schuckardt. He graduated from O'Dea High School in 1954 and from Seattle University in 1959 with a bachelor's degree in education and linguistics.
In 1958 Schuckardt joined the Blue Army of Our Lady of Fatima, and eventually became one of its highest administrators. In 1967, Schuckardt was dismissed from the organisation for publicly rejecting Vatican II.
In 1968, Schuckardt founded a Catholic traditionalist community based in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, called the Fatima Crusade.
In 1971, Schuckardt was ordained a bishop by Daniel Q. Brown. Brown had been consecrated a bishop 2 years prior, on 21 September 1969, by Hubert A. Rogers, a bishop of the North American Old Roman Catholic Church. The co-consecrators were James H. Rogers and George T. Koerner. At the time of the consecration, Brown was part of the North American Old Roman Catholic Church. During the year 1971, Brown left the North American Old Roman Catholic Church and became independent.
In 1971, Schuckardt changed the name of his group to Tridentine Latin Rite Church.
Schuckardt was a sedevacantist. He insisted his Traditional Latin Rite Catholic Church group was not a "new church", but a continuation of the Catholic Church. His followers refer to the Catholic Church as the "Modern Catholic Church" or the "Post-Vatican Council II Church" or the "Church of the Beast". They labelled Pope Paul VI the "arch-heretic of Rome".
