Biography
=Priesthood=
Marcel Lefebvre directed the Seminary of Saint Pius X's American priests to follow the 1962 liturgical books. Dolan and eight other American priests refused to do this. On 27 April 1983, these nine priests, along with some seminarians who were sympathetic to them, were promptly expelled from the Society of Saint Pius X (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).Cuneo, Michael W.[https://books.google.com/books?id=8OL9tyvN5YcC&dq=fr+clarence+kelly&pg=PA102 The Smoke of Satan: Conservative and Traditionalist Dissent in Contemporary American Catholicism, JHU Press, 1999, pg. 96]{{ISBN|9780801862656}}

Dolan was consecrated a bishop by Bishop Mark Pivarunas, Superior General of the sedevacantist Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen, on 30 November 1993, at Saint Gertrude the Great, West Chester, Ohio.[https://www.cmri.org/adsum/adsum-2016-10.pdf Adsum] (October 2016).

On 11 May 1999, in Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico, Dolan assisted Pivarunas as co-consecrator in the episcopal consecration of Martín Dávila Gandara of the Sociedad Sacerdotal Trento (Priestly Union of Trent).
On 22 February 2018, in Brooksville, Florida, Dolan assisted as Bishop Donald Sanborn as co-consecrator in the episcopal consecration of Joseph Selway of the Roman Catholic Institute.Jarvis, Edward, Sede Vacante: the Life and Legacy of Archbishop Thục, Apocryphile Press, Berkeley CA, 2018, pp. 107-110, 143-144

Bishop Dolan and Fr Joseph Collins were instrumental in converting Ohio State Death Row inmate Joseph Murphy to Catholicism. Dolan baptized and confirmed Murphy after a period of religious instruction and corresponded and regularly conferred sacraments upon Joseph Murphy.https://www.seminariosaojose.org/artigos/a-hist%C3%B3ria-de-dom-daniel-dolan-joseph-murphy {{Bare URL inline|date=August 2024}}
