In 1963 , Caffiaux travelled from France to Wisconsin to become a member of the Strangite church . In Wisconsin , he was baptized and was ordained to the priesthood .

Strang and that he should become the head of the church . In 1964 , while visiting Iran , Caffiaux reported being visited by an angel in a vision and being ordained a prophet , seer , and revelator and the embodiment of the First Presidency of the Melchizedek priesthood . Other Stangite adherents in France supported Caffiaux in his claims . Although Caffiaux called for a general church conference to consider his claims , none was called . At a conference of the Stangite church in France , the Stangite adherents voted to rename their congregation `` Église sainte de Jésus Christ '' -- the `` Holy ___MASK40___ of Jesus Christ '' .
