Catholic Candle’s List of Priests & Those Who Claim to be Priests
This list primarily focuses on whether there is any doubt concerning the validity of the ordination of a priest whom the faithful might encounter.
Note: Catholic sacramental theology requires that an ordination be treated as invalid if even the slightest reasonable doubt exists, concerning the validity of either the ordination or the ordaining bishop’s consecration. See the analyses elsewhere in Catholic Candle, which demonstrate the inherent doubtfulness of conciliar ordinations and consecrations:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49oPuI54eEGZVF5cmFvMGdZM0U/view
Also, in the list below, Catholic Candle flags sedevacantist priests (or supposed priests) of which we are aware. Sedevacantism is a grave error and is schism. See this article analyzing the sedevacantist error: https://catholiccandle.neocities.org/faith/against-sedevacantism.html
This is not a list of “approved” priests. It is the beginning of a prudent investigation concerning a particular priest.

Also, there is apparently sound circumstantial evidence that Fr. Bitzer is a feeneyite. To confirm this, we emailed him and respectfully asked him whether he supports Fr. Leonard Feeney’s position on the impossibility of Baptism of Desire, etc. Fr. Bitzer did not respond. People should inquire further, if considering attendance at Fr. Bitzer’s Mass.

So-called “Father” Brian A. T. Bovee
Catholic Candle’s best information is that he was so-called “ordained” in the conciliar church, probably in a diocese in Ohio, before coming to the Institute of Christ the King. At Catholic Candle’s request, a friend of “Father” Bovee specifically asked him if he was conditionally ordained at any time after his conciliar ordination. “Father” Bovee sighed and then told his friend that he will only state that (he believes) there is no doubt regarding the validity of his ordination.

So-called “father” Ronald Brown
He was about 51 years old in 2016. He was “ordained” June 29, 1989 in Montreal, Canada, using a hybrid mixture of the new and old rites of ordination. Because of the doubtfulness of this “ordination”, he was conditionally “ordained” June 17, 1992 by a Thuc-line “bishop” named “Mamistra”. Brown is not sedevacantist, as are most of the other “priests” and “bishops” of the Thuc-line. Catholic Candle considers Brown’s “ordination” to be doubtful and advises no Catholics to attend his “mass”.
Brown is married with two children who, in 1993, were ages 1½-years-old and four-years-old.
Source: The above information is from a March 14, 1993 interview he gave to a then-board- member of the Shrine of Christ the King, in Winfield, IL.

Here is what a supposed eye-witness says: “On June 29, 2006 I was in attendance and personally witnessed the episcopal consecration of Bp. Buckley.

He considers it imperative that every conciliar ordinand be conditionally ordained by a traditional Catholic bishop.

Catholic Candle lacks conclusive confirmation of facts, but we believe this to be true: Fr. Dadamio was a conciliar diocesan “priest” from Pennsylvania. About 2006, he attended the SSPX “House of Studies” for conciliar “priests”. The SSPX told him that he did not need conditional ordination. He later received conditional ordination by Bishop Williamson. Fr. Dadamio then became assistant pastor for Fr. Ronald J. Ringrose’s independent Traditional Catholic parish (St. Athanasius), in Vienna, Virginia, for a year or two. Fr. Dadamio left St. Athanasius church and went back to live with his parents.

So-called “Father” Neville Luis Monteiro
It appears very likely that he was “ordained” after the new conciliar rite of ordination was promulgated and came into use. However, there is some conflict in the information about when he was “ordained”. The best information appears to be the 1992 Directory of the Archdiocese of Goa & Daman, which lists so-called “Father” Monteiro as having a date of birth of April 14, 1942 and lists him as “ordained” on April 20, 1969. Source: a Catholic Candle correspondent in India, who attends the traditional Mass offered by independent priest, Fr. James D'Souza. This correspondent informs us that Fr. D’Souza stated from the pulpit that Fr. D’Souza’s own ordination “class” December 20, 1967, was the last class in India ordained using the traditional Catholic rite of ordination.
Alternate date and source for “Father” Monteiro’s “ordination”: 1973. Source: a board member of the St. Pius V. shrine (in Lake Zurich, Illinois) and the parish’s celebration of the 35th anniversary of “Father” Monteiro’s “ordination” in 2008.
