I know for a fact that not one of the non-Lefebvre ordinations of the Fraternity of St. Peter were done by an old ceremony consecrated bishop, which is rather odd and stands out as a red flag. It had to be done purposely. I have to assume that it is the same with The Institute of Christ the King. Though, a Fraternity priest is in a safer position than the Novus Ordo ordained because the Fraternity priest was ordained with the old rite of ordination, he still has a strike against him because the bishop that ordained him may not be a bishop. Personally, I would go to priests where I have no doubts about their ordination.
Of course, it was done purposefully, just like how the FSSP vow includes subjection to Vatican II and requiring all FSSP priests to celebrate or serve at a Novus Ordo "Mass" once per year, witnessed by a the local NO bishop.I stay the Hell away from NO "trads" for the sole reason of the New Rite of Ordination. If anyone has a list of former SSPX priests currently serving in the FSSP, I would be interested in keeping it in my files because those guys make valid sacraments.
I know an FSSP priest ordained by JPll. No matter what you think of him (JPll), he was ordained a Bishop before 1968 so his Episcopal consecration is valid. His ordinations, even under the new rite are probably ok as well as the new rite of ordination has far less objections to it than the Bishop's consecrations.
