Dear narses,

Though there orders and sacraments are valid, the SSPX are not Catholic. Neither were the SSJV. They were more akin to the Orthodox, who also have valid orders and sacraments, but who are not Catholic.

If an Orthodox priest or bishop were to come home to Rome, he would not be re-ordained or re-consecrated. Nonetheless, prior to his coming to Rome, he would not be Catholic.

Similarly, those whose marriages he witnessed while he was Orthodox would not now need to be remarried, etc.
