    • This just in, from their FAQ page (emphasis mine):

    Who is Hildebrand?

    Hildebrand is a celibate, male, baptized Roman Catholic, member of the Church at Rome, of adult age and free from all ecclesiastical censure. He is not a Bishop, so must be consecrated before he begins his papal ministry. His identity will be made known at the time of his consecration, so that until that time he can freely speak with Bishops and they with him, without threats of persecution or harassment. While this might not please his enemies or those who are addicted to curiosity, the pope elect has the right to conduct his own affairs and make his own personal decisions regarding his personal security. Anyone who is sane and rational can see that; and, thus, the Faithful are asked to be patient regarding the divulging of this information.

    It is ambigious as to whether he is a priest or a layman, though if he is the latter, obviously he would have to be ordained first (note that they say "consecration", only bishops are consecrated).

    • Could also be a Brother ... as in Bugnolo.

    In his podcast, he refused to answer the question of whether he was a priest, believing that would compromise secrecy regarding his identity.  While there are many at-least-NO priests out there, the pool shrinks dramatically when you consider they would have to be Prevost-vacantists.

    Priests?  Possibly "Fr." Kramer or else there were a couple Italian "priests" who went Bergoglio-vacantist.

    Other than that, Bro B himself or else Ann Barnhardt (found to be actually a man) LOL

    Obviously just kidding, but there's a very small pool of Prevovacantists, so indicating yes or no on priest might in fact dox him, and make him a target.

    • I'm just curious about who they could find to do the consecration.  As others had pointed out, it would require finding a bishop who either believed that Hildebrand might have had a legit claim or else didn't care at all, and only a Duarte-Costa line might be among the latter

    • Other possibility is that they cancel the whole thing after they feel as though they had solicited enough donations despite not having found a bishop.

    Last time they pulled a fast one by just electing Bergoglio again.

    .

    Honestly I don't think anybody would have the slightest desire to shoot whoever this person is, assuming he exists at all, which I don't believe. I think the whole thing is a big hoax. But I also don't think the modernists or globalists or anybody similar would see any reason to shoot whoever is involved in this ridiculous dog and pony show. I mean, nobody ever tried to αssαssιnαtҽ Pope Michael, and that's about on the same level as this one. :laugh1:

    There is also the provision in canon law (Canon 378 §4 1983 CIC) that a priest must have been ordained for five years before being consecrated a bishop (epikeia, anyone?).

    Canon 330 in the 1917 CIC, per Woywod/Smith, contains the same requirement.
