Wladimir Sokolovsky and the Wisconsin Old Catholics under the leadership of the episcopus vagans (=Bishop errant) Joseph René Vilatte 1891-1892. Also here we are observing relations with "Old Catholics" and the hierarchy of the Russian Orthodox Church on the path of a true confession of faith.http://orthodoxhistory.org/tag/vladimir-sokolovsky/
There was hope to create a Western Orthodox Church out of them and various High Church Anglicans and Lutherans, etc. Never panned out. Too many historical and personal issues intervened.
How sad! After Bp Vladimir of San Francisco received him and his parish, he did this:
But the parish priest, Vilatte, wasn’t there. He was in Sri Lanka (Ceylon), awaiting his long-sought consecration to the episcopate. He had found a taker in the ancient Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, the non-Chalcedonian church in India. Vilatte never seems to have considered himself to be a Malankara Syrian Orthodox; he was interested in their apostolic succession, not their actual Church.
Yes, unfortunately.
