A Historical Note

When Clement XI issued the Bull Unigenitus (1713), many Jansenists of France fled to Holland to escape the persecution of the Jesuits, who demanded that the Church of Holland return to them for punishment. Archbishop of Utrecht John van Neercassel refused to comply.
On his death, therefore, Clement refused to allow the consecration of a new Archbishop and abolished the ancient See of Utrecht, founded by St. Willibrord in the seventh century.
Forced to function without a Bishop, the Church obtained confirmations and priestly ordinations by sending candidates to other countries, notably Ireland, where Luke Fagan, Roman Bishop of Meath, was willing to confirm and ordain.
When Dominique Marie de Varlet, who had been appointed Coadjutor to the Bishop of Babylon, passed through Amsterdam on his way to take up his new position, he was prevailed upon to confirm 604 children who had been unable to go to other countries for Confirmation.
In March 1720, he was suspended from office because of these Confirmations. Returning to Amsterdam, he resided there. The Chapter of Utrecht persuaded him to consecrate Bishops for them.
The first consecration was on October 15, 1724, or Cornelius Steenhoven as Archbishop of Utrecht. The Bishop of Rome declared the consecration, and all subsequent ones, illicit (not invalid) and the Church of Utrecht, soon joined by Deventer and Haarlem, was considered to be in schism.
It was not until 1870, after the Decree of Papal Infallibility, that the Old Catholic Church formally separated from the Roman Church. That is why Casparus Johannes Rinkel is the first in the above line to be called an Old Catholic Bishop.

ANTIOCH ORTHODOX SUCCESSION
Table of succession of the Patriarchate of Antioch showing its western development.

It was the first Gentile Church founded by St. Peter in 35 A.D. according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, and it was here that the followers of Jesus Christ were first called Christians.
