Question:
Now that the Pope gave the SSPX jurisdiction to hear confessions are all their other Sacraments now licit?
Answer:
Pope Francis’ Apostolic Letter Misericordia et Misera specifically granted the faculty to validly and licitly absolve sins to priests of the SSPX. However, it extended no other faculties to these priests.
That means that any other sacrament that requires faculties for validity would be invalid. Thus, for example, any marriage vows exchanged before a SSPX priest by a Catholic would be invalid.
Any sacrament they administer that does not rely upon having a faculty would be valid but illicit.
