“Heresy” is false teaching. “Disposition” is presence of personal sin. If a bishop falls into sin while teaching correct doctrine, he is an orthodox bishop who happens to be human in need of confession. If a bishop falls into heresy, he no longer leads an orthodox Church and cannot consecrate priests.

So then, according to the RCC, are the EOC orders valid?
