(238) In 1655, Antonio Barberini, nephew of

Urban VIII, was consecrated to the Episcopate

under authority of the Bishop of Rome, by

Bishops Scanarello, Bottini and Govotti. He was

Archbishop of Remes 1657 untill his death in

1671, and was made a Cardinal. It is from Bishop

Barberini that the Roman Succession from Peter

branches off from the Bishops of Rome.

(239) Michael le Tellier was consecrated by

Barberini in 1668. He was confessor to King

Louie XIV of France, and a Jesuit Provincal.

(240) Jaques Benigne de Bousseut, was

consecrated by le Tellier in 1670 as Bishop of

Mieux, France.

(241) James Coyon de Matignon, was

consecrated by de Bousseut in 1693.

(242) Dominicus Marie Varlet, Consecrated in

1719 in Paris by Bishop de Matignon, assisted by

the Bishop of Quebec and the Bishop of

Claremont. He was named Coadjutor to the

Roman Catholic Bishop of Babylon who died on

November 20, 1717 and Bishop Varlet

succeeded to the title. After a period in Persia at

Schamake, he was suspended from office for

alleged technical irregularities, including the

confirmation of 604 candidates in Holland,

whom he had confirmed at the request of the

Church in Amsterdam. The Dutch Church had

been without a Bishop for 18 years as a

punishment from Rome because the Dutch

Church refused to cooperate in the persecution of

the Jansenists in Holland. Following the election

(243) Cornelius Van Steenhoven to serve as

Archbishop of Utrecht, the Primatial See of

Holland, Varlet agreed to perform the

Consecration, which he did on October 15, 1724,

thus making Van Steenhoven the seventh

Archbishop of Utrecht and canonical successor

to Saint Willibrod, the British missionary who

had brought the faith to Holland. In this

consecration was born the Old Catholic Church.
