I've done some digging myself, about Bishop Taylor, and I have no doubt he was validly consecrated, in fact, multiple times. Fr. Bolduc -was- careful.

Bishop Patrick Taylor was born and raised a Roman Catholic. He became dissatisfied with the changes of Vatican II and became an Orthodox priest. He later returned to the True Faith after being advised by an independent traditional Catholic bishop.

When he returned to the True Faith, he was already a validly ordained priest. He received episcopal ordination from Archbishop Michael Boucher, whose episcopal lineage is Old Catholic and Eastern Orthodox and recognized as valid because it was personally investigated by the late Cardinal Edouard Gagnon. Where is the proof for this? Docuмented evidence should be abundantly available.

One of the co-consecrators of Bishop Taylor was Archbishop Denis Garrison, an Eastern Orthodox bishop whose lineage is recognized by the Archdiocese of New York beginning with Cardinal Francis Spellman (1965) and later by Cardinal Terrence Cooke (1967). Again, where is the proof for this?[/color]

Though his episcopal lineage was recognized before and after Vatican II, Bishop Taylor sought conditional episcopal ordination in 2001 from Bishop Merril Adamson. Bishop Adamson is a Thuc-line whose lineage is from Bishop Christian Datessen, a Thuc-line bishop living in France. If his episcopal lineage was recognized before and after Vatican II then why did he get a conditional consecration done? Are the sacraments some play things? This is bizarre.

Bishop Taylor's validity was recently defended by Dr. Rama Coomaraswamy, a former SSPX seminary professor and one of the original members of the Society of St. Pius V (SSPV).

He was consecrated with the Traditional Rite of Episcopal Consecration. He uses an English translation of the Traditional Rite to confer Holy Orders. The Vatican to this day has a record of him, listing him as a bishop because the Holy See has kept records of independent bishops since the 1950s.

So as a bishop he now thinks it legitimate to make things up as he goes as in using an English translation of the Traditional Rite to confer Holy Orders? Even Novus Ordo dioceses do not do this. What is going on here?

Again, discernment is needed. Also, where did you get the info you quoted? [/color]

Bishop Bruno’s Apostolic Succession is derived from Bishop Patrick Taylor, who possesses valid lineages that include Eastern Orthodox, Old Roman Catholic (i.e. “Old Catholic”-Utrecht), Brazilian National Catholic (Duarte-Costa), and Roman Catholic bishops, specifically the Thuc lineage.
