Eduoard Cardinal Gagnon (January 15, 1918-August 25, 2007) was a Canadian who
became a Roman Catholic Cardinal on May 25, 1985. He served as President of the
Pontifical Council for the Family from 1974 to 1990. In 2002, Cardinal Gagnon was
invited to investigate documentation relating to the episcopal orders received by
Bishop Andre Letellier, with a view to commenting on the validity of his
consecration. Letellier had been consecrated on 23 May 1968 by the late Archbishop
Andre Leon Zotique Barbeau of the Catholic Charismatic Church of Canada.
Archbishop Barbeau had in turn been consecrated by Archbishop Charles (Ignatius
Carolus) Brearley, an English Old Catholic bishop based in Sheffield, United
Kingdom. Cardinal Gagnon's letter reads as follows:
"To Whom It May Concern: After having studied the documentation of
Mgr. André LeTellier and his predecessors in episcopal succession, I am convinced
that he has been validly consecrated a bishop. It is not my intention to rule on the
reports of the organization, incorporated under the name of Catholic Charismatic
Church of Canada with the Conference of Catholic Bishops of Canada and of
Québec. But nothing allows me to doubt the validity of episcopal ordination of Mgr André
Letellier by Archbishop André Barbeau and that of Archbishop Barbeau by Archbishop
Ignatius Charles Brearley, Primate of the Church of the "Old Catholics" having its seat in
England. The ordinations of the "Old Catholics" are generally considered to be the same as those
of Orthodox bishops. I have known Archbishop Barbeau for more than 60 years since
our time at the Grand Seminary of Montreal. I have had little contact with him
thereafter, having exercised my ministry far from here. But he has always been
known to me as a man of prayer, a mystic. And I think that his disciples are also,
above all, men of prayer. + Edouard Cardinal Gagnon, p.s.s. Montreal, 6 May 2002"
