from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mario Renato Cornejo Radavero (born October 19, 1927 in Lima ; † November 22, 2015 in Rouen ) was a former Roman Catholic titular bishop and later bishop in the altritualist "Parish without borders" Église Sainte Marie (alias: Église vieille-catholique romaine or Église apostolique de France ).

Life

Mario Cornejo was a Doctor of Canon Law from the Pontifical Lateran University . He was ordained priest on 20 December 1952 and, at the age of 33, on 20 February 1961, Titular Bishop of Sanavus and auxiliary bishop in Lima appointed (Peru). The consecration was carried out on April 16, 1961 by his sponsor, Juan Cardinal Lamdázuri-Ricketts , OFM, then Archbishop of Lima and chairman of the Latin American Bishops' Conference ( CELAM ). In 1969 Cornejo resigned from office and married the daughter of an Argentine police officer in Buenos Aires (church invalid). Cardinal Landázuri Ricketts and Pope Paul VI. responded publicly with dismay.

After leaving the Roman Catholic Church, Cornejo joined the Église Sainte Marie in France in 1970 and consecrated its founder, Maurice Cantor , as bishop. Since then he has worked as bishop in this autonomous Catholic ecclesiastical community.

In 1987 he consecrated three more bishops for this community: Claude Ducrocq, Claude Roland Fleury and Bernard Cantor, the adopted son of Maurice Cantor.
