Life

The son of George Musey and Mary Cecilia Abraham entered the Roman Catholic seminary "Saint Mary's" after his schooling in 1945 and was ordained a Catholic priest on May 22, 1952 by Bishop Wendolin Nold of Galveston, Texas. He then worked as a pastor in various places in Texas. From 1968 he retired from office and public for years due to illness. Occasionally he celebrated private masses in the church "Queen of Angels" of the Brotherhood of St. Pius X in Dickinson, which rejected the Second Vatican Council , and then set up his own chapel there on family property. On April 1, 1982 in Acapulco, Mexico, he received episcopal ordination by Bishop Moisés Carmona . On August 24, 1982, he himself ordained the dismissed Franciscan Louis Vezelis bishop in Buffalo, NY . Both divided the United States into two of them founded and according to their claims only legitimate dioceses of Catholic traditionalists and ancient ritualists . Musey took over the leadership of the Bishopric of Western USA and Florida. In 1985 he worked as auxiliary bishop for the sedevacantist Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen (Congregatio Mariae Reginae Immaculatae, CMRI), which in 1991 in Mark Pivarunas , also through Moises Carmona, obtained its own bishop.
