1The list of Bishops of Rome (Popes) does not include those considered antipopes, according to the Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church. As a result, there may be some numbers that are missing in the sequence.2Bp. Julius H. Massey was consecrated by Bp. Denver Scott Swain in 1945 in Plainfield, Ill. Later, he was consecrated sub conditione by Abp. Richard Arthur Marchenna, assisted by Abp. Hubert Augustine Rogers of the North American Old Roman Catholic Church. Abp. Rogers had been consecrated sub conditione by Bp. William E. J. Robertson [Varlet Succession] by Abp. Carmel Henry Carfora [258 of the See of Utrecht I Succession and 131 of the Antiochian-Syrian [Malabar]-Jacobite Succession].3Bishops Webster, Manning, Meshew, and Gerth were originally consecrated in the Southern Episcopal Church. Bp. Webster served as Presiding Bishop until his death, and he was succeeded by Bp. Manning who became Presiding Bishop in 1990. Bishop Meshew is deceased [as of 2009]. Bishop Gerth was originally ordained to the Priesthood in the Episcopal Church of the USA by The Rt. Rev. William R. Moody, Bishop of Lexington (KY) and served as the Bishop Ordinary of The Anglican Diocese of Texas from his consecration in 1991 until his death June 12, 2010.

4As the rubrics prescribe in the Anglican Ordinal in accordance with established tradition, there is a requirement that the consecration of a bishop be performed by no less than three bishops. Because all three bishops impose hands on the bishop-elect (the matter of the sacrament) and recite the form of consecration, Pope Pius XII (Episcopalis consecrationis, Nov. 30, 1944) affirms this view and insists that they are to be referred to as co-consecrators. As this was already obvious, all three concur in the consecration (where only one would suffice for validity), and, therefore, even in the unimaginable case where two of the three bishops would lack the necessary intention, the remaining bishop would still validly consecrate the bishop-elect.5Giovanni Cardinal Mercati, Archivist of the Vatican Library (1936-57), on July 21, 1952, wrote to His Excellency Bishop Ireny as follows:

"You have inquired of me as to the status of Msgr. Francis Alvarez,Msgr. Rene Vilatte, and Msgr. Miraglia Gullotti. All three of theseconsecrations are valid. Bishop Vilatte was consecrated by three bishops of the Syrian-Jacobite Church of Malabar."
