The Consultant to the Task Force is His Eminence, The Most Reverend Dr. David Smith, Metropolitan Archbishop and Prefect of The Office of Liturgy of The Anglocatholic Church.
By this statement any catholic bishop in an unbroken apostolic line from the original Roman Catholic Bishop is a true Catholic Bishop, but we must remember to stay as close to the original source as much as possible.
The Anglocatholic Church understands that statements concerning Apostolic Succession and valid Eucharist makes us “a true particular church” in the understanding of The Holy See.
