"Reception of Communion at an SSPX Mass is certainly permissible. It is absurd to think otherwise."

Not according to Una Voce, Ecclesia Dei, or interpretations of Canon Law. The Mass is valid but illicit, the Priests are excommunicated. But one may attend and satisfy their Sunday obligation if the reason is only to assist at the Tridentine Mass, and not because they dissent from the Catholic Church. Sunday obligation (assisting at Mass) is not strictly the same thing as receiving Communion.

You put me in the awkward position of arguing with you guys, in which which I have absolutely no desire, because I agree with almost everything you have to say about Church teaching, and the problems in the NO Church.

But I also mistakenly thought you had everything figured out.

Sincere questions here. If I were to assist at the Tridentine at an SSPX Chapel, and received Holy Communion from the assisting Priest, my receipt of the Sacrament would be licit but invalid? Same for Confession, Baptism, etc.?

Also, if all SSPX Priests, Bishops, etc. are excommunicated, why are any of the Faithful allowed to assist at all? If the SSPX came into existence because of an act of disobedience, which then resulted in excommunication, how is it possible for the followers of the SSPX not to be tainted by that disobedience, and excommunicated as well?

There is a little Church very close to where I live, that I suspect is SSPX. I'm not sure, because the Church is not listed on the SSPX website. But the Church offers Mass on Sundays, and the talk is that the Church flies in a Priest every Sunday to assist at Mass. I'd like to attend, but I must confess to being a little afraid to.

SSPX priests are not excommunicated. Only their bishops (latae sententiae) as a result of the unauthorized episcopal ordinations.

the Priests are excommunicated.

The priests are not excommunicated. That's where you are wrong.
