I am willing to go out on a limb and state categorically that nearly EVERY SINGLE "Pauline-rite" liturgy offered in the U.S. on nearly every day of the week is illicit
OK, I guess that pretty much puts you in a bad place. A Novus Ordo Mass or "Pauline" Mass, is the noramtive Mass of the Church. If you think that is illicit, then sadly, you are declaring the Church Christ founded as fallen.
Did you know they are soon going to be subjected to mandated sexual education as early as first grade as part of the VIRTUS program
That isn't the nature of that class, and in particular, not at my parish.
If you have a letter from Msgr. Perl, wonderful for you. Conversely, your particular situation does not extend to others. I would also say if you are telling people the Novus Ordo is illicit, then you need more than a letter from Msgr. Pnrl to set that right.

Evidently, you do not even know the difference between "illicit" and "invalid." Illicit means there was some change of wording, gestures or rubrics not in accord with the GIRM. Nearly every Mass has some added or deleted word or words by the presiding priest that would qualify it as being illicit.
The SSPX Masses are illicit, as they are done outside of the approval of the local Ordinary. Nearly every single Sunday Mass is illicit if it does not conform exactly to the rubrics and words in the Missal.
I need no other letter from Msgr. Perl. I never told you the contents of that letter. You need to understand the difference between "illicit" (illegal) and invalid.
