    • I do not know.  An article I just read ( http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20101119/news/711209899/?interstitial=1 ) said he was ordained in India and came to the US (St Pius V Shrine) to offer traditional sacraments, at the protest of the local ordinary.  You may consider contacting someone at the Shrine to see if they can help answer your question, here is their website: http://www.stpiusvshrine.org/statement.htm

    "Be kind; do not seek the malicious satisfaction of having discovered an additional enemy to the Church... And, above all, be scrupulously truthful. To all, friends and foes alike, give that serious attention which does not misrepresent any opinion, does not distort any statement, does not mutilate any quotation. We need not fear to serve the cause of Christ less efficiently by putting on His spirit". (Vermeersch, 1913).

     Ordained in India on 20.4.69 By Archbishop Raul Gonsalves (who was consecrated Bishop in 1967). The date of ordination is remarkable - when the New Rite had to come in force.

    • With Indian ordinations, you have to check up on them if they are close to the date when the new rite was implemented. I have heard that in some cases, in India, even after it was implemented, it still wasn't always used. Be sure to check ordination date and RITE. If you don't get a direct, up-front answer that satisfies your question, stay away.

    • Might have been conditionally re-ordained by someone, too, if he's intent on offering the Mass the old way.
