I apologize for the multiple postings on this topic, but as the previous posts were deleted I’m hoping you can answer my question.
A relative has been a member of a local SSPX church for twenty years, that is, most of his life. He is soon to be married to another SSPX member. They do not just attend the church, but are active in the group’s activities.They are getting married in a parish that is under the jurisdiction of the diocese, and I don’t know whether the priest of the parish knows of their schism. It seems highly unlikely that they have suddenly abandoned their beliefs. I am not even sure that it will be the priest of the parish
who will perform the ceremony, but possibly a SSPX priest who may not even be validly ordained. Is this marriage invalid? Would it be wrong to attend the wedding?
