Here is more information on the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest taken from one of their fliers:
“The Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest is a society erected by the Catholic Church on September 1, 1990. Today it maintains Houses and Apostolates on several continents including North America. The goal of the Institute is the honor of God and the sanctification of priests in the service of the Church and souls through a spiritual formation in Roman Catholic Doctrine and piety. Its specific aim is missionary, to spread and defend the reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ in all realms of human life.”

This organization has its headquarters in Wausau, Wisconsin. This is in the diocese of La Cross under Bishop Raymond Leo Burke soon to be Archbishop of St. Louis. I understand that Msgr. Schmitz and the bishop are good friends.
