Wasn't there talk of this back in June (which never came to pass)?

He writes that this serious matter "could disturb some of the faithful, especially young people, who are not sufficiently interested in the crisis in the Church".

"We must expect to be treated as excommunicated by the [ecclesiastical] authorities," he warns, calling it "painful and disturbing for a Catholic".

Doesn’t make much sense considering the fact that they have Hounder. Will he leave the SSPX? Will he be conditionally consecrated? 

everything the SSPX has done as of late seemed contrary to this being a reality. they took Hounder to be closer in a sense to the authorities, now they are distancing themselves?

the second bold quote seems just like the theories that JP1 was a “trad” who was going to “free the church”, and also like the bennevacantists who view Benedict XVI as a valid Catholic in dogma…

"...prepare the faithful for the consecration of new bishops, without specifying a date."


Why announce this? What is the purpose of such "preparation?" Why do they highlight the fact that they are not "specifying a date?" 

A real announcement by real men would state exactly what they planned to do and when. No announcement or "preparation" would be necessary. This is a manipulation targeted at weak minds.

Wonder if they're so far gone that they'll use Huonder as sole-consecrator?

There would be no reason to do that.  While consecrations by a single bishop are valid, ceteris paribus, the normal procedure is to have three bishops.  I've always assumed that was done just to cover all the bases, on the off chance that one of the bishops might not have been validly consecrated.

"We must expect to be treated as excommunicated by the [ecclesiastical] authorities," he warns, calling it "painful and disturbing for a Catholic".

Ridiculous.  This actually seems like an attempt to troll Resistance types.  I'm sure they would line up some arrangement with Bergoglio to get it done without any "excommunication" involved, where Huonder would be the consecrator with some other Conciliars as the co-consecrators.

If the SSPX ever consecrates more bishops +ABL style, without Papal mandate, they will be the WORLD'S WORST hypocrites.

They won't.  This message is, as Incredulous pointed out, just an attempt to create a perception that they are still at odds with Bergoglio and will (possibly) be persecuted.  It's to keep those among the SSPX faithful who may be starting to question whether or not the SSPX is still Traditional confused and thinking that there's some great tension between SSPX and Bergoglio.  That's their target audience for this rumor.  They want to keep as many of the sheep as possible corralled within the SSPX for when they make the final cutover, so as to bring as many as possible en masse back into the Conciliar Church.  If they didn't play this game of gradualism, they risked having a large percentage of their faithful move to Resistance or Sedevacantism, which would defeat the purpose of this entire operation.  They're taking the "boil the frog" approach to cook their faithful into the Conciliar stew, and this is an attempt to prevent some of those who are beginning to notice from (thinking about) jumping out of the pot.  Fernandez admitted that Bergoglio deliberately uses the "boil the frog" method to make his changes permanent, and we see the same strategy here.  Bring in Huonder first.  Then let him consecrate some oils and a church.  Next Huonder might confer some Minor Orders.  Have the faithful get their marriages witnessed by a Conciliar priest.  Have some confirmations done in NO churches under the pretext of not having enough room.  Don't criticize Jorge except for the bare minimum that's required to keep up appearances of still being Traditional.  They had to say SOMEthing (even if it was a mealy-mouthed weak statement) about the blessing of sodomites or no one would buy that they're still Traditional.  Promote Modernist trash like Fr. Paul Robinson's "The Modernist Guide to Religion and Science".  Shuffle the Trad-minded priests who remain to positions of insignificance and little influence, especially removing them from seminary.  Loosen up on enforcing Traditional dress codes.  Little by little, the SSPX faithful are being "boiled".
