The Founding edit
So it seems to me that there is a mash of two stories here. One origin story describes the story of celebrity priest Fr Girandola announcing his marriage and hitting the media circuit and founding a church in St. Petersberg. But this was actually a distinct community from the Canonical Old Roman Catholic Church which doesn't believe marriage can follow AFTER ordination. It is an interesting story and there is certainly a connection but it seems it is more of a John Humphreys piece of history and a page doesn't yet exist for him (it's a red link).
John Humphreys was ordained to the priesthood by The Most Reverend John Swartout, on August 7, 1966. The current article says Fr Girandola did so. Not correct.
This news article describes the founding from the Old Catholic Church of North America.
Then Humphreys was consecrated bishop by Archbishop Shelly on May 24, 1975.
I have a fair bit of history on this community but the only Newspaper reference is the one linked above. The remainder are from various Old Roman Catholic Church sites. I'm new to Wikipedia editing/article authorship so any guidance on how much info to include, and the suitability of the references from the Church's own websites would be appreciated.
