Best Answer

An Archbishop or Bishop may only celebrate the Ordination of a Bishop with the Pope's permission, and there is no way that any pope would ever give permission to celebrate the ordination of an Episcopal Bishop unless you are referring to an Episcopal Bishop that converted to the Catholic Church and was being ordained a priest in the Church.

A Catholic Archbishop or Bishop may attend the Consecration of an Episcopal Bishop. But the Catholic official would not participate in the ceremony. The Catholic person could not participate because to do so would signify agreement with Episcopal doctrine.

Do they have Mass in Episcopal Churches?

Because the Catholic Church does not recognize the validity of Episcopal ordinations, their Mass is not celebrated validly and does not fulfill the requirements on the Catholic faithful according to Canon Law. In response to above answer: The Episcopal Church does not have a "Mass". It has a service. More and more the word "Mass" is being applied to the Episcopalian Service. It is a misnomer in the Episcopalian context. Also I'm not sure what's meant by "Catholic faithful" since the Episcopal Church is called The Holy Catholic Church to distinguish it from the Roman one.
