The Roman Catholic Church recognizes the validity of Old Catholic Holy Orders and Sacraments.

No we do not. The Old Catholic Church is not on the list of churches in communion with us or recognized as having valid orders.

Any reasonable person would see that the Holy See would not endorse this nonsense that is on their "10 Reasons to check us out" page:

1. You will worship in a family where your marital status and sexual orientation are of no consequence. (That is, you are loved and accepted unconditionally.)

2. You will hear, finally, the dual parentage of Father/Mother God.

3.Your family life will be affirmed, no matter what shape your family is in. (In other words, this church realizes that there are other worthy families out there besides Mom, Dad, and Kids.)

4. You will occasionally hear the gospel read in a woman's voice and be spiritually enriched by the gift of a woman's homily.

The Old Catholics often use this lie of having valid orders to lure Catholics into their heretical churches. The Old Catholic churches today accept homosexuality, women clergy, contraception, gay unions, etc.

It does not have the stamp of approval from the Holy See.

Actually, the Old Catholic Church did have valid orders, but they've started "ordaining" women to the priesthood (of course, those women aren't validly ordained to anything), and I believe also to the episcopacy as well. Anyone ordained by their female "bishopesses" wouldn't be validly ordained, so the validity of their orders would cease unless they could be traced back through a male line.
