" how in the world could an Eastern Orthodox Divine liturgy fulfill your obligation and an SSPX Mass cannot?"

Is it true that attendence at an Orthodox Divine Liturgy fulfills a Roman Catholic's Sunday Obligation?

Mea culpa...I took the liberty of your question to look it up and it seems I was quite wrong:

It is true that a Catholic may fulfill his Sunday obligation at the Divine Liturgy of the Eastern Orthodox. Unless in danger of death, he should not receive communion, but he can strictly fulfill his Sunday obligation.
