Credonia Mwerinde (born 1952) was the high priestess and co-founder of the Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God (MRTC), a sect that splintered from the Roman Catholic Church in Uganda. Before founding the movement she was a shopkeeper, brewer, and a prostitute. She and two other group members approached Joseph Kibweteere in 1989, and said that the Virgin Mary had instructed him to take them in; together Mwerinde and Kibweteere would found the MRTC in 1989.
