In light of Traditionis Custodes, is the TLM celebrated by a well known schismatic Priest an invalid Mass?
The short answer no.
The Motu Proprio Traditionis Custodes of Pope Francis deals with simply putting more restrictive measures for the Extraordinary Form of the Mass (TLM) usages.
If the Extraordinary Form of the Mass is celebrated by a well known schismatic Priest, the Mass would be considered valid but illicit.
Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke, a canon lawyer, excommunicated a priest and that very priest celebrated a Mass which is considered valid, yet illicit.
The Rev. Marek Bozek left his previous parish without his bishop’s permission and was hired by St. Stanislaus Kostka Church earlier this month. As a result, Bozek and the six-member lay board were excommunicated last week by Archbishop Raymond Burke for committing an act of schism.
Burke said it would be a mortal sin for anyone to participate in a Mass celebrated by a priest who was excommunicated — the Catholic Church’s most severe penalty. Burke, who couldn’t stop the Mass, said it would be “valid” but “illicit.” -Excommunicated priest holds ‘illicit’ Mass
Please remember that even though a cleric that has even been laicized and no longer functions as a deacon, priest, or bishop, he still has the sacramental character of Holy Orders. Technically, if he were to perform a sacrament in accord with the norms of the Church, that sacrament would indeed be valid. However, the sacrament would be illicit, meaning he violated Church law and would be culpable for this infraction since he no longer has the faculties to function as a priest. Pope Francis’ Motu Proprio can not change that. End of story.
The indelible mark conferred at priestly ordination can not be undone. It lasts for eternity.
