Biography
editPriesthood
editLefebvre directed the SSPX's American priests to follow the 1962 liturgical books. Dolan and eight other American priests refused to do these. On 27 April 1983, these nine priests, along with some seminarians who were sympathetic to them, were promptly expelled from the SSPX by Lefebvre, for their refusal to use the 1962 Missal and for other reasons, such as their resistance to Lefebvre's order that priests of the SSPX must accept the decrees of nullity handed down by diocesan marriage tribunals, and their disapproval of the SSPX's policy of accepting into the society new members who had been ordained to the priesthood according to the revised sacramental rites of Paul VI. Almost immediately, these priests formed the Society of Saint Pius V (SSPV).[2]
Episcopacy
editOn 30 November 1993, in Saint Gertrude the Great Church, West Chester, Pivarunas consecrated Dolan a bishop.[3]
On 11 May 1999, in Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico, Dolan assisted as the co-consecrator in Pivarunas' episcopal consecration of Father Martín Dávila Gandara[3] of the Sociedad Sacerdotal Trento (Priestly Union of Trent).
On 22 February 2018, in Brooksville, Florida, United States, Dolan assisted as a co-consecrator in Bishop Donald Sanborn's episcopal consecration of Father Joseph Selway[4] of the Roman Catholic Institute.
On 29 September 2021, Dolan consecrated Brazilian Father Rodrigo da Silva, a former priest of the SSPX-Resistance, as a bishop for Mexico and South America.[5]
On 26 April 2022, Father Stephen McKenna of Saint Gertrude the Great Church announced the sudden death of Bishop Dolan on the same day.[6]
Bishop Dolan and Fr Joseph Collins were instrumental in converting Ohio State Death Row inmate Joseph Murphy to Roman Catholicism. Dolan Baptized and confirmed Murphy after a period of religious instruction and corresponded and regularly conferred sacraments upon Joseph Murphy. [7]
