I have to question the a lot of this list. It is badly out of date.

And several people in that list are dead, but not reported as such.

Dear CathInfo,

I have been requested to assist with keeping an updated spreadsheet of various priests and their ordination history. 
Matthew has kindly agreed to keep this thread posted in perpetuity to ensure this information is not buried.

Here are my initial thoughts/directions:
1. If you have information about a particular priest- provide that information to this email address: ordinationvalidation@use.startmail.com
2. It must include a valid source-hearsay isn't verifiable.
3. I will provide an updated spreadsheet with a new effective date as information is received.

If you do have any suggestions/format, etc., feel free to email as well. I am open to what works best.
Attached is the sample version with a couple of priest's information already.
This is a great idea!  Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to put this together!

CatholicCandle went down for a time and it was much harder to find information about the ordinations of priests.  It would be very good to have another more stable place to look all of this information up. Prayers for it all to work out!  :pray:

And just for support, Fr. Wathen said that, in the confusion of this day and age, the lay people have a Right To Know if their traditional priests are properly ordained in the old rite of Holy Orders or not.  The priests should not be offended by being asked, they should not withhold the information.  Nor should the SSPX or any other group hide the info, or punish those who inquire (certainly, they should not be using questionable priests to begin with).

One group of trad clergy with solidly valid orders are the Old Romans. They exist in several distinct groups, the most prominent being these four: the Old Roman Apostolate, the See of Caer Glow, the See of Terra Nova, and the Old Roman Catholic Church - Latin Rite.

Unfortunately, the Old Romans too often are confused with the schismatic and heretical Old Catholics because of similarity in name and both Old Romans and Old Catholics derive their Holy Orders through the ancient See of Utrecht.
