Why would the confessions of excommunicated/illicit priests be invalid if the Church recognizes the validity of Orthodox priests outside of communion?

An excommunicated Catholic priest and an Orthodox priest both have valid Holy Orders. They are both priests and both a schismatics.

To me, as a layman, it seems strange. I only started studying this more after the news of the excommunications. I know the Orthodox are large and have their own structure, but they don't even recognize the Roman Pontiff same way we do, actually, wouldn't that be yet an aggravating factor?

By the end of last year I (20M) started talking to a girl (21F) who lives in another city and is a friend of a close friend (20F) of mine. We talked almost every day for about a month. She had to go to another city for some medical exams, and she asked if I wanted to grab coffee with her at a café she always goes to. I said yes and we met up. It was that typical first-meeting thing a few silent moments here and there, but the conversation went well overall. We stayed there for about two hours. Around the same time as our first day texting, she was very active in the beginning. By the halfway point, there were times she wouldn't really read my messages properly, and toward the end there were times she'd go 5 days without responding at all, even though she was posting stories and stuff. I don't think it was because of the date itself, since she was already kind of like that before, you know. I asked her out twice more, but she already had plans both times, since she works a "6x1" schedule (six days on, one day off) with alternating Sundays off on top of that. At some point I just let it go.

Fast forward a bit.

In the middle of this year, I went on a retreat that some friends (23M and 22M) invited me to. She was going to be there too, and after months of no contact, she messaged me telling me to go. I said I would, but I didn't start up conversation beyond that.

At the retreat (3 days), she was there and greeted me. On another day we talked a bit about some things, and at the end she hugged me and said she was really happy I had come, and stuff like that.

She's not a bad person, quite the opposite, she's very pleasant. She's still single, and we still have that mutual friend in common.

Is it worth trying again?

"Evangelho de João não são as palavras de Jesus" - Pe. Raymond Brown

"Nos Sinóticos quase nada vem de Jesus" - Pe. John Meier

"Jesus talvez foi enterrado em uma cova comum" - Dale Alisson explica

"os judeus eram cananeus, êxodo em grande escala não existiu e tinha vários deuses na bíblia" - Mark Smith

"Paulo e os Apóstolos provavelmente não aceitariam a cristologia atual" - Brown também

Ultra simplificado e reduzindo muito as coisas nesse resumo, eu sei.

Não tenho nada "wow toma ateus, eu sou esperto" ou alguns discussão muito foda para trazer, mas só escrevendo algo que notei vendo uns caras tipo Miranda ou Toshio, mt podi esses vídeos cara, tipo eles falam com uma soberba e certeza tão alta.

Mas, eu não sei qual o Cristianismo que os ateus querem derrubar com algo ultra secreto da Bíblia que eles descobrem:

"tal coisa não é verdade, acabou Cristianismo", é tudo retórica tipo "isso vai chocar você" kkkkk, ai é coisa padrão de graduação.

Acaba só se for a religião do fundamentalista americano Batista da CIA né, ou de gente com pouco estudo, gente leiga ou só com preguiça mesmo. Citam Ehrman como se tudo oque ele dissesse fosse novidade ou algo assim.

I've seen recently multiple influencers (most are non-denominational) claim that the idea of eternal condemnation isn't in the Bible, and universal salvation and Origen is the way to go.

To what extended is that real?
