He was ordained as a Roman Catholic Priest in the mid 80's. However, a man who open accepts a women "priest" and other heresies, can't be followed or listened to. Be careful of the wolf.

How does apostolic succession work?
Apostolic succession is the doctrine that the chosen successors of the Twelve Apostles, from the first century to the present day, have the same authority, power, and responsibility as was conferred upon the apostles by Jesus.This doctrine has particular effect in the Romans Catholic Church, which hold that the current pope is the direct successor of the apostle Peter. This originates with Pope Anicetus (156-166), who, during the course of a theological argument with Polycarp of Smyrna, claimed that Peter had travelled to Rome to lead the Christians there and had been beheaded in Rome, meaning that he (Anicetus) spoke with the authority of Peter. Clement of Rome, writing around 95 CE (1 Clement), spoke in general terms about the life and death of Peter but appears to have been unaware that he had even visited Rome.
Is the apostolic succession of bishop Godfrey Siundu valid?
Roman Catholic AnswerI do not know who consecrated Fr. Siundu as a Bishop. If they were validly consecrated bishops of the Catholic church and they followed the approved rite, then, yes, his consecration would be valid but illicit. No bishop can be consecrated without the Holy Father's express permission. To do so is to risk immediate excommunication latae sententae (incurred by the very fact of committing the crime without need of a formal declaration).
Can a female be a Bishop?
1 Timothy 3:1 - This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work. Paul goes on to stipulate that they must be "the husband of one wife" (v.2), and have "children in submission" (v.4).
What did Apostolic tradition have to do with the Church?
When Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, founded His Church, He founded it on Peter. Peter, and the other apostles were the original bishops of the Church. To be a genuine Catholic Church that is in communion with the Pope (the successor of St. Peter) and Christ, its Bishop must be ordained in the Apostolic line. Without such valid apostolic ordination, it is not a true "Church", only an ecclesial community. In other words, Apostolic tradition is the basis for the Church, revelation ended with the death of the last Apostle.
Can a catholic receive the eucharist in an Anglican church?
Roman Catholic AnswerNo. First of all, there is no "Eucharist" in an Anglican church. They, themselves do not even believe this, and they no longer have valid apostolic succession or orders so they have no priests to confect the Eucharist. Second, one would be, by receiving their Holy Communion, expressing unity with an heretical sect which does not believe in the truth as received from Jesus Christ so one would be committing a mortal sin.
What has the author S V Ryan written?

Can a Catholic receive eucharist at a non-Catholic service?
Roman Catholic AnswerNo. First of all, there is no "Eucharist" in a Protestant church. The protestants themselves do not even believe this, and they no longer have valid apostolic succession or orders so they have no priests to confect the Eucharist. Second, one would be, by receiving their Holy Communion, expressing unity with an heretical sect which does not believe in the truth as received from Jesus Christ so one would be committing a mortal sin.
Is Greece Catholic?
I assume you mean Roman Catholic. If so, then: No, Greece is largely Greek Orthodox. As an anglo-catholic I believe that Orthodox Christians are members of a valid branch of the one, holy catholic and apostolic church. But they are not roman catholic.
Why did England split from the Roman Catholic Church?
Catholic Answer:The Anglican Church (Church of England) schismed from the Catholic Church because King Henry the VIII wanted an annulment but was not granted one by the Pope. After this King Henry VIII declared himself to be the true leader of the Church, and was then excommunicated by Pope Clement VII. As such the Anglican Church is not considered to have valid Sacraments or Apostolic Succession by the Catholic Church and does not have any more communion with the Catholic Church than any other Protestant ecclesial community.
What does the Catholic Church share with churches that have separated from us?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Churches that are separated from us, the Orthodox, the Old Catholics, the Polish National Catholics, all share in the priesthood of Our Blessed Lord, they have a valid apostolic succession through their bishops, and they share a common faith with us. The Orthodox, in particular, share everything up through the tenth century when they left. The Old Catholics schism and Polish National Catholics schismed after Vatican Council I; and now it looks as if the Society of St. Pius X is going to going their ranks. The protestants, lacking a valid priesthood and sacraments may not be called Churches for that reason, and so are termed "ecclesial communities" by the Second Vatican Council.
Who is archbishop david bell?
Archbishop David Bell was consecrated a Catholic Bishop by His Beatitude; Patriarch Luis Fernando Castillo Mendez; Patriarch of Brazil for over 62 years; he in turn was consecrated in 1948 as a bishop by the Roman Catholic Archbishop Carlos Duarte Costa of Brazil who resigned to the Holy see to Pope Pius XI in 1937. He was appointed as titular bishop of Maura by Pope Pius XII. Before Vatican II was established. The Roman Catholic Archbishop Duarte Costa then some 8 years later that is in 1945 founded the Brazilian Catholic Church which has flourished and flourishes today. David Bell was also appointed by Patriarchal Bull by His Beatitude as Secretary of Doctrine and Faith of the Brazilian Catholic Church. He is the first ever non Brazilian bishop to be appointed to such a position from the established church in its existence. He was also elevated by His Beatitude; Patriarch Castillo Mendez as a "Cardinal" of the Igreja catolica apostolica Brasileira. its first ever Cardinal for the United Kingdom in a Patriarchal Bull; which is on his website www.splxiii.com. A position that Patriarch Mendez holds David Bell in great esteem for his knowledge understanding and wisdom. There is no question that David Bell and any bishop consecrated by him is a valid Catholic Bishop in a pure Roman Catholic Apostolic Succession. David Bell only uses the Tridentine Rite and the Roman Pontifical Pre Vatican II. His Beatitude; Patriarch Castillo Mendez was a Roman Catholic Priest before being consecrated by the Roman Catholic Archbishop Duarte Costa.
Why don't all Churches observe Lent?
Roman Catholic AnswerIn the Catholic tradition, the only eccelsial groups which can be called Churches are those they have a valid priesthood, and, of course, valid apostolic succession (their bishops have all been validly consecrated by valid Catholic Bishops). These would include the Old Catholics, the Polish National Catholics, all Eastern Rite Catholics, the Orthodox Churches, and the St. Pius X Society. All of these Churches observe Lent. The only groups which do not observe Lent would be protestant ecclesial communities, and they are not valid Churches as they lack apostolic succession and a valid priesthood. NEW ANSWER=Lent is supposedly based on Jesus 40 day fast after his baptism. was he then establishing a ritual to be followed yearly. not at all. this is evident in that the bible does not record any such practice among the early Christians. Lent was first observed in the 4th century after Christ. Like many other teachings of Christendom it was borrowed from pagan sources. if Lent is in imitation of Jesus fasting in the wilderness after his baptism why is it observed the weeks leading up to Easter, supposedly the time of his resurrection? Jesus did not fast during the days prior to his death. the gospel accounts indicate that he and his disciples visited homes and ate meals in Bethany just a few days before he died. Matt 26;6,7. Luke 22;15, John 12;2. There is something to learn about Jesus fasting AFTER his baptism. He was embarking on a vital ministry. The vindication of Jehovah's sovereignty and the future of the entire human race were involved. This was a time of deep meditation and for prayerfully turning to Jehovah for help and guidance. During this time Jesus appropriately fasted. This indicates that fasting can be beneficial when done with the right motive and on a fitting occasion-compare col 2;20-23
