I don’t know a whole lot about these split-off groups, but it’s interesting that David V. Barrett, in Encyclopedia of new religious movements, specifies that now episcopi vagantes are “those independent bishops who collect several different lines of transmission of apostolic succession, and who will happily (and sometimes for a fee) consecrate anyone who requests it.”

That is apparently how the feminists have been able to purport to have womyn priests ordained and even consecrated as bishops. And I bet that not one woman so "ordained" or "consecrated" is fit to shine Mrs. Don-o's shoes. They also use "retired" bishops who modestly prefer not to take public "credit" by name.

God bless!
