Of the other bishops ordained by mons. Carlos Duarte COSTA, two voluntarily transferred to the Roman Catholic Church, where they were received without re-ordination, these are
Monsignor Orlando Arce MOYA, and Monsignor Salomão Barbosa FERRAZ.
This ordinations aimed to consolidate the way of life of the Catholic clergy as it was lived in the Church of the first millennium - celibacy as a choice and not as a mandatory discipline.
For the sake of clarity, only main consecrator is listed, although several bishops participated in all the consecrations. All consecrations were performed in Catholic faith according to the Roman Rite. Strict care was taken to meet all the norms for the validity of the sacrament of Holy Orders: MATTER, FORM and MINISTERIAL INTENTION for the CONCRETE CHURCH.
The Church has its roots in the unbroken apostolic succession, and the Catholic faith and doctrine are strictly preserved.
We accept the Roman Catholic faith and doctrine with the exception of mandatory celibacy and we do not allow the blessing of same-sex couples and the ordination of women to holy orders.
Today's Roman Catholic promotion of celibacy and simultaneous pastoral degradation with the document Fiducia supplicans is contradictio in adiectu, and this cannot be accepted either from the point of view of the Bible or from the point of view of correct Catholicism.
