Well P0411 is the Secondary Air flow injection and the P0420 is Catalytic Efficiency

So I'm guessing your catalytic convertor could be screwed or the Secondary Air Pump is toast or something is not functioning in between

Could be, could be.

Very very very common for the catalytic convertors to fail on these 8's
But I wouldn't drive around with a clogged catalytic for long as that could result in engine failure.
