Actually, they're not as shady as some try to make them seem. I don't attend their society (nor have I ever), but know a bit about them. Remember, just because a line comes from a schismatic line, doesn't mean its invalid. As long as the ordained/ consecrated is teaching Roman Catholicism and professes to be Roman Catholic, and you can trace his validity, thats going to be important. If you can't do this, or are not yet well versed enough in being able to determine this, its better to stay with SSPX, CMRI or their affiliates. Here's +Taylor's Episcopal lineage:
