Also, what about the AORCC? More information is: Confraternity for the Latin Liturgy. I looked up the acronym online but couldn’t find the meaning. Thanks!
Holly,
Here is a link that should answer your questions and doubts:

They are not catholic but profess to be one.
AORCC is actually AIOCC:
We are in full communion with, and have reached a concordat with, the American Independent Old Catholic Church, headquartered in Pine Mountain Club, CA. The AIOCC has as her shepherd the Most Reverend William F. Malloy, Jr., M.Div., D.D.
Here is more info:
We confirm our valid lines of Apostolic Succession through both Orthodox and Old Catholic historic roots. During our early formation, we were part of the Catholic Charismatic Church (CCC), also called the Catholic Charismatic Church of Canada, due to its foundation being laid in Montreal.
In 2009, the Most Reverend Joel G. Clemente, D.D., was consecrated a bishop by the Most Reverend J. Paul A. Boucher, D.D., and the Most Reverend Robert J. Russell, D.D., both of whom were first ordained in the CCC and later elevated to the office of Bishop. A third co-consecrator was the Most Reverend Edward Haynes, D.D., now Patriarch of the Holy Nicene Orthodox Church.
In November, 2009, Bishop Clemente founded the Holy Catholic Charismatic Church (HCCC) under the authority of a mandate, dated November 29, 2009, issued by His Excellency the Most Reverend Edward Haynes (or “Primus ++Jacob”) of the Holy Nicene Orthodox Church [see
http://holynoc.org]. Metropolitan Clemente governs through the Holy See of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, based in Pampanga, the Philippines. On February 4, 2010, Bishop-Elect Heyward B. Ewart, Ph.D., was consecrated by His Excellency as a bishop in the Holy Catholic Charismatic Church and assigned the world-wide Diocese of the Risen Lord.
