Lines of Apostolic Succession

In 1697, Dutch Catholics were accused of being "Jansenists". + Petrus Codde was then the Vicar General and he was officially censured by Rome and a schism began. Many French Jansenists suffered persecution in France during the 18th century and fled to Holland..

In 1723, Dutch Jansenists nominated for themselves a Bishop of Utrecht. The Dutch Old Catholic Church was officially created and their bishop was later consecrated by +Varlet. The Dutch Old Catholic Church evolved into the Union of Utrecht and supported other Old Catholic Churches in Germany, Switzerland, and briefly in Poland with the Mariavites, and in the USA with the National Polish Church. Also, see further comments in the "Brief Primer on Apostolic Succession."

They are presently in full intercommunion with the Church of England and recognize Anglican ordinations as valid since1925. The American Polish National Catholic Church broke intercommunion with the Protestant Episcopal Church in America in 1977 over the ordination of women to the priesthood.

Bishop Scanarello, assisted by Bishops Bottini and Gavotti, in 1655 consecrated

Antonio Cardinal Barberini (Archbishop of Rheims 1657-71) who on the 12th November 1668 consecrated

Michael Letellier (Jesuit Provincial and confessor to King Louis XIV of

France) who on the 21st September 1670 consecrated

Jaques Benigne Bousset as Bishop of Mieux, who on the 24th October 1693 consecrated

Jaques Goyon de Matignon as Bishop of Condom, who on the 18th February 1719 consecrated

Dominique Marie Varlet as Bishop of Ascalon, who on the 18th October 1739 consecrated

Petrus Johannes Meindaerts as Archbishop of Utrecht, who on the 11th July 1745 consecrated

Johannes van Stiphout as Bishop of Haarlem, who on the 7th February 1768 consecrated

Gualterus Michael van Nieuwhuyzen as Archbishop of Utrecht, who on the 21st June 1778 consecrated

Adrianus Johannes Broekman as Bishop of Haarlem, who on the 5th July 1797 consecrated

Johannes Jacobus van Rhyn as Archbishop of Utrecht, who on the 7th November 1805 consecrated

Gisbert Cornelius de Jong as Bishop of Deventer, who on the 24th April 1814 consecrated

Willibrord van Os as Archbishop of Utrecht, who on the 22nd April 1819 consecrated

Johannes Bon as Bishop of Haarlem, who on the 13th November 1825 consecrated

Johannes van Santen as Archbishop of Utrecht, who on the 17th July 1853 consecrated

Hermanus Heykamp as Bishop of Deventer, who on the 11th August 1873 consecrated

Casparus Johannes Rinkel as Bishop of Haarlem, who on the 11th May 1892 consecrated

Gerardus Gul as Archbishop of Utrecht,

There are many lines to the Anglican Independent Communion from +Gul through the Old English Catholic Line of +Arnold Harris Mathew who consecrated +Rudolf E. De Landas Berghes, who then consecrated +Carmel Henry Carfora to +Hubert A. Rogers to +Peter A . Williamowich to +Peter A. Zurawetzky to +Uladslau Ryzh-Ryski to +Emigidiusz J.Ryzy to +Robert Samuel Loiselle.

Because, +Mathew was in 1910 , repudiated by the Dutch Old Catholics, hence, his successions are not considered by some to be valid. However, St. Augustine's Doctrine of Orders would suggest and Old Catholics maintain that these orders are valid.

There is also a +Gul line from the Mariavite Succession to +Kowalski, then +Fatome down to +Percival Nicholson and then to +L.F. Pierre ( if you don't like the direct associations with +Mathew).

+L.F. Pierre was also a co-consecrator of +Uladslau Ryzh-Ryski and from him to +Emigidiusz J.Ryzy and to +Robert Samuel Loiselle. +Ryzy was a co-consecrator of +Robert Samuel Loiselle of the A.I.C.

Another +Gul line comes to Abp. +Bertil Persson from +Gul down to +Walter James Williams, +Thomas Illtyd Thomas, +William Montgomery Brown, +Wallace de Ortega Maxey to +Bertil Persson. who consecrated +Paget Mack.

+William Henry Francis Brothers, (1887-1979) Archbishop-Exarch of the Old Catholic Church in America consecrated +Joseph John Skureth who also consecrated +Persson.

There are many other another charts which connect American "Old Catholics" with +Gul and also with +Vilatte. Metropolitan Joseph Zielonka of the POLISH OLD CATHOLIC CHURCH also has a line which comes down to +Robert Samuel.

Another +Vilatte line which intersects with Old Catholic lines can now be traced from +Lloyd, +Fryxell. +Leighton ,+Nichols, +Plummer, +De Witow, Propheta, +Ryzy-Ryski, +E.J. Ryzy to +Robert Samuel Loiselle.

However, here is an example of a +Gul chart through the +Mathews succession which does not go through +Vilatte.

Both +Klimovicz of the Russian Synodical Church and +Williamowich did consecrate:

+Peter A Zurawetsky, who then did consecrate

+Uladslau Ryzy-Ryski, to

+E.J. Ryzy to

+Robert Samuel Loiselle

All in all, there are numerous connections from the Anglican Independent Communion back to Utrecht from American and British Old Catholics, Mariavite, and Anglican and Old Episcopal lines through the PICC (Iglesia Filapina Independiente) which is in Full Communion with the Utrecht Union and the Church of England. Because of this, PICC bishops also received Orders from bishops of the Church of England who had gained Utrecht lines of succession after 1931.

The AIC has PICC lines of succession directly from +Forest Ernest Barber, +Francisco de Jesus Pagtakhan, and +Ga down to +La Roque, +Spatero and +Paget Mack.

However, it is important to remember, the American Polish National Catholic Church has the only direct line of succession from the Utrecht Union in North America which is recognized by Utrecht to be in communion and "valid". However, the Utrecht Union now ordains women to holy Orders. Only the PNCC in the USA has rejected this practice within the Utrecht Union.

The PNCC also broke intercommunion with the American Protestant Episcopal Church (PECUSA) in America in 1977 over the ordination of women to the priesthood. Recently PNCC Orders have been recognized by the Bishop of Rome as "valid" within the Roman Catholic Church.
