Great to know.  Thx.

I would still argue that the new-sspx is wrong for having mass in a desecrated (probably not even consecrated properly) novus ordo "building" (can you even call it a church?).  But that's another topic.

Right.  I don't disagree with that.  There are some cases, however, where, let's say an SSPX priest were visiting some historically-Catholic iconic places (churches) in Europe, where they try to make a "statement", as it were, of wanting to reclaim for Catholicism somethings that rightly belongs to the Church and Tradition rather than to the Conciliar usurpers.  So, for instance, if a priest could offer a Traditional Mass at the main altar at St. Peter's, would you say it's wrong to do so because of the Novus Ordo desecration?

I somehow feel that the Novus Ordo being offered in a Catholic church is a bit different than, say, if some Muslims or Hindus or Jews started having services there.  But I have nothing theological to base this on, just a gut feel.

Now, a lot of the more extreme Traditional Catholics would place the Catholic Eastern Rites categorically in the condition of being non-Catholic.  Certainly I think it would be wrong and scandalous to have a Catholic Mass in some Orthodox schismatic church building.  But I just cannot put the Eastern Rite Catholics into this same category.  They PROFESS the Catholic faith ... whereas the Orthodox publicly repudiate it.  This has to count for something to distinguish them from the Orthodox.  That is why to me to say simply that the Conciliar Church is a non-Catholic sect ... that's a gross oversimplificatoin.

Well, if we believe that Malachi Martin's books are mostly factual, and if a satanic rite was done in St Peters, then yes, such a place is desecrated for the time being.  But I can't prove this either way.
.
If I were a priest, i'd not offer a latin mass in any novus ordo church, however beautiful it was, until some exorcism prayers were done and other blessings that a normal Trad priest could do on his own (presuming there was not a Trad bishop available to do something more substantial).
.
I believe that a novus ordo is a sacrilege so I'm just being honest and logical, based on this foundational view.  I could be wrong of course.  But I think God would appreciate the caution used, even if my views were proven extreme.
