I may be a bit behind in my canon law regarding schismatic Catholic groups, but I’m not sure that this article’s reference to a “bishop” of the American Catholic Church is correct.
Recognized as a valid but “irregular” branch of the Catholic Church, the church does not necessarily follow the edicts of Rome nor does it accept the concept that the Pope is infallible.
It’s certainly not a “valid” branch of the Catholic Church, and I’m pretty sure that ordinations in this group are neither “regular” nor “valid.”
