@LiveJohn I learned somewhere, many years ago, that some Anglican Vicars upon discovering that the Anglican Church had altered the Rite of Ordination and "Apostolic Succession" had been let go - went immediately to the Orthodox Church and requested re-ordination in a Traditional Rite from Orthodox Bishops. Then, having legitimized their Priesthood they returned to their Anglican Parishes.
They were aware of the real situation, yet even today, many Anglicans/Lutherans etc.... do not understand that they have invalid orders . Priests are ordained both in the old Testament AND THE NEW - to offer Sacrifices - God continues the Old System, yet transforms it so that Christ is the permanent offering, day after day, hour after hour, on the Altars of His New Covenant Priesthood. Without the shedding of Blood there is no atonement for sins.
It is all very well Anglican clergy believing in the Real Presence of Christ - but the point they need to remember is the people who changed their ordination rites did NOT believe in it - and the alteration of the texts within their Priestly rite of Ordination reflect their apostate belief.
The perpetual Daily Temple Offering of the victim, has to be continously re-presented, lest the perpetual offering fail (
Daniel 8:11-13 and also Daniel 12:11 ) and the Daily Offering is discontinued.
It may be failing in the modern Catholic Churches
as well - for the Modern Rite of Priestly Ordination was altered around 1970. Sadly, we possibly have Priests within the RCC who may be invalid today as well!.
It's never "too late" though. What is needed is for Priests who have reasons to doubt their Ordination to go (like those Anglicans) and find someone to re-ordain them as soon as possible! That is what I would do if I were a man and a Priest wanting to ensure I definitely HAD a valid Ordination! I would go on my knees to the SSPX or some Sedevacantist Bishop and ensure I had the authentic Priesthood and need never worry about the matter again.
That being said. I'm aware that Sedevacantist Priests have maintained an authentic Priestly line, with true Apostolic Succession. They have made sure (when there is good reason to worry) that they are Ordained correctly. I remember reading somewhere that their Priesthood descends from someone called Cardinal Thuc. (Who was consecrated by Pius XII I believe) So, THEIR Apostolic line must be okay.
Also, it has been suggested that Cardinal Siri founded the ICKSP. Whether he was or was not the founder is not important, what IS true is that he ordained the two principal Priests usually accredited with it's foundation, Their Rector, Fr Philippe Mora and their Prior General Fr
Gilles Wach . They were
both Priests Ordained by Cardinal Siri.
Also, of course, there is Archbishop LeFebvre......who like Judas Maccabeus fled the Apostate Temple in
Jerusalem Rome and went instead to the Hill Country of
Judea Switzerland where he continued to train Priests in the authentic Rites of the Church.

If you have not already viewed the video I've linked below - it has a fascinating stack of information very relevant to our present hour. it shows that the situation within the Old Temple Priesthood before the Birth of Christ, was remarkably similar to how it is right NOW - in the years just before the Return of Our Saviour. it is very interesting.
Even more ominously, (God will not be mocked!) It is known that the Temple in Jerusalem suffered 4 or 5 False High Priests at the close of the Old Covenant era. - and those scandalous High Priests allowed identical blasphemous to what we have seen within our Sacred Spaces since the death of Pius XII. ....alterations to the Old Covenant Faith and the way people worshiped, Just like within the New Testament era OUR recent Popes have destroyed many aspects of the Traditional Faith since 1958. Just prior to the first Coming of Our Lord Jesus, rogue, False, Politically planted High Priests changed everything. They threw out Traditions, created havoc in the way God was worshiped, created new liturgical rites, burned Traditional Holy Liturgical documents and erected in the temple of Jerusalem a second altar upon which a statue was placed known as "The Abomination of Desolation" It even got to the point that the evil rulers supporting the false High Priests put people to death for Circumcising their children... It can be said that those Hellenizing Old Covenant false Temple Priests were an uncanny prototype to our "Globalist" Elite Reprobate clergy in this modern era.
It's all documented in this video..
Vatican II & Novus Ordo Prefigured in the Old TestamentFew know about the Maccabees end of Covenant events in our Churches today - even though the Books of Maccabees are in our RC Bibles! It's possibly because Most RC's don't even
have a complete Bible - and don't even know that there are more books in Catholic Bibles than there are in the Bibles people generally tend to buy online.
The canon of the Protestant Bible totals only
66 books !!!! Consisting of 39 Old Testament Books and 27 New Testament Books ; the Catholic Bible on the other hand has 73 books (46 OT, 27 NT) The Greek and Russian Orthodox Bibles have 79 Books (52 OT, 27 NT) whereas the Ethiopian Orthodox has 81 Books 54 OT, 27 NT.
