Moral Consequences Of Attending Sspx Mass

[Tabby Cat]

As far as I'm aware sspx are valid still. It was explained to me that they're like a step sister part of the family but not blood. Different to the orthodox church who are in partial communion more like a friend not family.

"By definition, their request carried with it an acknowledgement of the Pope's authority over the Church here on earth." Pope Benedict XVI explained that the SSPX has no canonical status in the Catholic Church for doctrinal reasons and that SSPX ministers "do not legitimately exercise any ministry in the Church."

On the other hand, the Vatican declares that Catholics MAY legitimately receive Holy Communion at an Orthodox liturgy.

There are a lot more parts to this, as in the Year of Mercy, Pope Francis gave and then extended faculties for SSPX priests to hear confession.  There was also a process for being married by an SSPX priest that involved several steps, which boiled down to, if a local parish priest wouldn't marry you at the SSPX chapel, then the SSPX priest would validly marry regardless.
