One of Zurawetsky first acts as leader was to change the name of the denomination to Christ Catholic Church of the Americas and Europe.
Also, Zurawetsky took the title of "Patriarch in America",[1] and took the religious name Peter II.
It is at this moment that Karl Pruter was consecrated archbishop by Zurawetsky; Pruter had accepted the consecration on the condition that his jurisdiction could be an independent denomination under the name "Christ Catholic Church, Diocese of Boston".
[1] By 1990, Zurawetsky maintained a chapel in Vineland, New Jersey, called the Church of the Visitation.
[2] The 8th edition (2009) of Melton's encyclopedia of American religions marks the Christ Catholic Church of the Americas and Europe as defunct.
