Another big question: If Archbishop Lefebvre already desired Frs. Williamson, Tissier de Mallcrais, Fellay, and de Galarreta to be bishops in 1987, then why did the May 3 1988 letter addressed to Cardinal Ratzinger not include 2 of those original 4 candidates?
This fact reinforces the theory that Fr. Schmidberger had a very high chance of being one of the 4 candidates proposed to Rome in May.
