Moisés Carmona

Moisés Carmona Rivera (31 October 1912 – 1 November 1991) was a sedevacantist traditionalist Catholic bishop from Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico, who propagated sedevacantism in Mexico. He was one of the bishops consecrated by the Vietnamese sedevacantist bishop Ngô Đình Thục.

Priesthood
In November 1939, Carmona was ordained a priest by Bishop Leopoldo Díaz y Escudero of Chilapa (the Diocese of Acapulco was only split from the Diocese of Chilapa in 1958).

Carmona became a seminary professor.

Sedevacantism
In the 1970s, he, along with Father Joaquín Sáenz y Arriaga and Father Adolfo Zamora, formed the Tridentine Catholic Union (Union Católica Trento).

Episcopacy
In 1981, Carmona and Zamora were brought by the German sedevacantists Doctor Eberhard Heller and Doctor Kurt Hiller to the Vietnamese sedevacantist bishop Ngô Đình Thục in Toulon, France. Thục consecrated them bishops in Toulon on 17 October 1981.

Carmona formed consecrated four bishops: the Mexicans Benigno Bravo and Roberto Martinez y Gutiérrez, and the Americans George Musey and Mark Pivarunas, CMRI.

Death, burials, and aftermath
Bishop Carmona died on 1 November 1991, aged 79, from injuries sustained in an automobile accident.

In 1996, Carmona's body was exhumed and transferred by Father (later Bishop) Martín Dávila Gandara of the SST to a crypt in a lower chapel below the Divine Providence Church. It is claimed that during the transference, Carmona's body showed no signs of decomposition, and that pictures taken of him when his body was put into the crypt looked the same at the time of his funeral.
