Precisely, although the Utrecht schismatics who apparently got bent out of shape over Vatican I’s decree on papal infallibility, HAVE carefully maintained apostolic succession.

Yes, but it should be said that Utrecht - as a schismatic Church - dates back to 1723: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Catholic_Church_of_the_Netherlands Later, in the 19th century German priests who objected to Vatican I went to it and received illicit episcopal orders from it.

I know the Old Catholic Churches of Europe - at least in a few countries - ordain women. I assume this means they will not have valid orders forever. http://www.touchstonemag.com/archives/article.php?id=12-01-021-f
