Question regarding SSPX situation
If SSPX priests can validly consecrate the Eucharist because they are validly ordained, but (assuming they lack faculties) cannot validly absolve sins in confession, doesn’t that create a difficult situation for the faithful?
Suppose someone goes to an SSPX priest for confession, is sincerely repentant, believes they have been absolved, and then receives Communion at an SSPX Mass. If the confession was objectively invalid, wouldn’t that mean they are still in mortal sin and are objectively receiving the Eucharist unworthily?
