I know Mascek is Thuc line -- what is the Costa line?
The line from the excommunicated bishop Duarte Costa.  He was excommunicated by Pope Pius XII.  He founded the schismatic “Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church” which continues even to this day.

Anyone from the Costa line I wouldn’t touch with a ten foot poll, unless there was an absolute emergency.
Are you saying that Duarte Costa lines are of doubtful validity?  And if so, may we receive sacraments from priests whose orders are doubtful, if there is no other way of receiving the sacraments?

I'm taking no position one way or the other.  I am just posing a question.

My advice:  avoid these Bishops/priests until we hear from Rome (real Rome) as to whether they are safe to go to in an emergency.
