Would his Mass be valid?

[TamTam]

We have a young priest whom the Bishop removed from ministry, the young priest has appealed this decision to Rome. He has since joined a group that has other Priests, and I think 4 Bishops, they are not with the Vatican, from what I understand, the young priest says Mass in people’s homes, but I think the group is looking for a church, from what understand they are ultra conservative, my question, is since the diocesan Bishop removed him from his office, is his Mass valid?

If the priest’s faculties to say Mass publicly were revoked by his bishop, the Masses would remain sacramentally valid (validly ordained priest = valid Mass), but illicit.

Is this group by any chance the SSPX?

I asked him that, and he said not exactly but close to it.

Sounds like it could be the Society of St Pius V (Bishop Clarence Kelly). The main difference between them and the SSPX, is that the SSPV treats sedevacantism as an open question.

I would pray for them, but avoid them like the plague. A spirit of division and disobedience has infected them. That is one virus you do not want to catch.
