Michael,
In the absence of a priest in union with Rome, a Catholic
may avail (him|herself) of the sacraments of any Church
which has valid Apostolic Succession.
Of course, some of the Eastern Orthodox priests may not administer them because of
prohibitions in the canons of their bishops.
I know nothing about the Brazilian Church.
There is a problem
with the Old Catholic Church, in that I've heard some of the bishops have attempted to ordain
women. Eventually, if these women are "ordained" bishops, we will have
a problem with Apostolic Succession. I'd look into them further.
As far as I know, the Polish Catholic Church has Apostolic Succession.
You could also avail yourself, in an emergency, of Nestorian and Monophysite Churches: Eastern Churches that fell into schism in the fourth century.
All that said, I'm sure that the good Lord is not going to strike you down if your
intention is to do the will of Christ when you seek a Sacrament. If you were to unknowingly
receive a "sacrament" that was invalid, we can assume that God would impart
a spiritual grace on the basis of your faith, and the faith of His Church. That is not
a license to knowingly seek invalid sacraments or to disobey. Rather, it is an assurance
that if you seek God's will, but fail, God will look at your intention.
I hope that helps.
