Well, that about settles it.  Mystery of Huonder solved … and overall mystery of neo-SSPX, between him and Krah.

There could hardly be a more damning article than that one.

Agreed.  Whoever wrote this did a great service by exposing this information.  Someone might do well to investigate the genealogical lineage of Huonder.

So Huonder somehow picked up this reputation for being a conservative ... here:

This is from his Wikipedia page:

Pope Benedict XVI appointed him bishop of Chur on 8 July 2007.[1] He received his episcopal consecration on 8 September 2007 from Amédée Grab, his predecessor as bishop of Chur.  His tenure proved controversial to some, as he reaffirmed orthodox Catholic doctrine in strong and uncompromising terms.

Pope Francis accepted his resignation on 20 May 2019.

So if he was this great conservative, why did Bergoglio twice refuses his resignation?  Bergoglio would normally insist upon the resignation of a truly conservative/Traditional bishop ... and certainly not reject it.

IMO, Huonder was being groomed and set up as a "conservative" precisely in order to infiltrate the SSPX ... just like Ratzinger was having his persona re-created as "God's Rottweiler" when he was a flaming Modernist ("heretic worse than Luther" according to Bishop Tissier).  Huonder even chose Instaurare omnia in Christo as his episcopal motto upon his consecration in 2007.  So it's very possible that he's been groomed from very early on to infiltrate SSPX.

Never trust a German Modernist cleric.  They (along with the French Modernists) were the ones leading V2.  Uber liberal and uber crafty.

Prior Toupee in Sanford Fl was ecstatic over Hounder. He even linked a video entitled 'Video of The week, in the weekly newsletter" The Path to the Society of Saint Pious X.  The comments at the end of the video has many SSPX followers gushing over Hounder--Some of the comments below.

1.   This bishop was so brave and honest. That's the kind of men Church needs.
2.    I am in shock for the honesty and openness of this bishop. Thank you for speaking up in support of those who loves the tradition of the Church and love the Old Rite, like me and my kids. Not SSPX member but respectful and supportive of their work.
3.   Wonderful summary, and with such gravitas - no hysteria, no name calling, just the facts - what a real bishop should be. Waiting for Part 2!!
4.   What a tremendous boon to the Church for this Archbishop to provide this impressive testimonial and historical recounting.
5.   God Bless the Good Archbishop and the SSPX!

Msgr. Huonder, who will soon take his retirement at the FSSPX, has shown during his life a special preference for Israel and the Jєωιѕн people. Already his doctoral thesis, presented in 1975, is entitled: "Israel Son of God: On the interpretation of a theme of the Old Testament in the Jєωιѕн Exegesis of the Middle Ages".

While still a bishop, he was appointed Delegate President of the Swiss Bishops' Conference for the "Commission for Jєωιѕн-Roman Catholic Discussion" (JRGK). In 2010, the Commission presented the following report:



Said and done. On March 20, 2011, the first Dies Judaicus was celebrated in Switzerland, for which Bishop Huonder published the following words (excerpts):



In 2009, this same Jєωιѕн-Catholic Discussion Commission met in the ѕуηαgσgυє of Bern to discuss the following topics:
1. The new version of Pope Benedict XVI's Good Friday Prayer "For the Jєωs" of March 4, 2009.

2. The lifting of the excommunication against four bishops of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X by Pope Benedict XVI on January 21, 2009, in which especially the public denial of the h0Ɩ0cαųst by one of these bishops, Richard Williamson, as well as the relationship of the Fraternity of St. Pius X to the Council's Declaration "Nostra aetate".... These events became a challenge and a burden to the Jєωιѕн-Catholic dialogue. [Now it is better understood why the FSSPX got rid of Bishop Williamson and now welcomes Bishop Houder! NP Note] JRGK's main concern was to maintain the basic trust and foundation of Catholic-Jєωιѕн dialogue, especially in light of the achievements of the past sixty years and the joint tasks ahead. All JRGK members have openly struggled to reach agreement on critical issues..... Finally, it is clear that the Jєωιѕн-Christian dialogue in Switzerland must continue.... However, a real conversation on equal terms requires absolute acceptance of the other religion and its full respect. 

3. Looking to the future of the Jєωιѕн-Catholic dialogue, there are other challenges such as the beatification of Pope Pius XII...

4. The JRGK achieved an important goal with the introduction of Dies iudaicus in Switzerland since 2011.... From 2011, the Dies iudaicus will be celebrated on the second Sunday of Lent. The Bishops' Conference asks the JRGK to provide the parishes with suitable material for the Dies iudaicus in liturgical cooperation.

The 2013 annual report states:

The following topics were discussed: the establishment of special parishes with Tridentine Mass by the former Catholic president of the JRGK, Msgr. Dr. Vitus Huonder and the problems of Catholic-Jєωιѕн dialogue; the relationship between the Vatican and the St. Pius X Fraternity.

Why should the Commission for Jєωιѕн-Catholic dialogue discuss in the ѕуηαgσgυє of Berne the relationship between the FSSPX and Rome and the establishment of parishes with the Tridentine Mass? What is this? It is worth asking whether there is a plan agreed upon by the Pope and the ѕуηαgσgυє, which is currently being implemented in relation to Bishop Huonder and the FSSPX.

The 2016 annual report of the Swiss Bishops' Conference informs us:

27.6.2016, The Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei extends Mgr. Vitus Huonder, Bishop of Chur, his mandate to continue theological and pastoral discussions with the circles linked to the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X.

Is that why Francis extended Bishop Houder's mandate as Bishop of Chur?  Everything seems to indicate so. On December 17 of that same year, Bishop Huonder was received in a private Audience by Bergoglio. Less than a year later, on May 4, 2017, the Swiss Episcopal Conference published the communiqué announcing the extension to Bishop Huonder's mandate:

"Pope Francis has decided not to respond now to the request for the resignation of Bishop Vitus Huonder and to make it effective at Easter 2019. The President of the Swiss Bishops' Conference, Bishop Charles Morerod, reacted as follows: "We have learned of this decision and we respect it, of course."

Fribourg, May 4, 2017 Swiss Bishops' ConferenceWalter Müller, Head of Information."

On May 3, Bishop Huonder published his own communiqué where he made known the decision of Francis and in which he says: "I am grateful for having given me the possibility to carry forward and accompany some work that is not yet concluded within the diocese as in other areas."

Could it be for this reason that for several years the FSSPX has been preparing to receive Bishop Huonder in one of its houses, publishing profusely articles in his favor?

For his part, Fr. Nay, founder and administrator of the GloriaTV site, affirmed in May 2017 the following regarding the extension given by Francis to Bishop Huonder's mandate (excerpt):

Conjecture about the reasons for the extension began quickly. Why is Rome in no hurry to get rid of the Bishop of Chur, for whom Pope Francis would have little sympathy? The answer: because Rome has more things to do in a hurry. What? The regularization of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X. What does that have to do with Huonder? More than one might think. The General House of the Brotherhood is not located in the diocese of Chur, but very close to it. Huonder is, as one would say in leftist jargon, the most important Swiss "bearer of hope" for the Brotherhood.

For years Huonder, for whatever reason, has been celebrating the Tridentine Mass. He also visits the houses of the FSSPX (the media did not notice). This impresses the Fraternity. Huonder is the Swiss bishop closest to Swiss Bishop Bernard Fellay. Huonder's extension is certainly an encouraging sign for Bishop Fellay. He is encouraged in his opinion (I kid you not) that Pope Francis is also "well disposed" towards his Fraternity, notwithstanding the fact that he commonly describes the Pious (and others) as narrow-minded Pharisees.

In this context, Huonder's extension is thus a confidence-building measure (or tactical measure).

In the diocese of Chur, Francis does not have to rush. Things are not so bad there. The formation of priests at the theological college has never been as miserable as it is today.
Since Huonder took office - as I was told - 10 priests from the Catholic wing have left the diocese. The homo's have remained. The priests, who live with publicly declared concubines, celebrate under Huonder's gaze at Mass on the occasion of their priestly jubilee. Liberals need not fear Huonder. That is why the leftist howl about Huonder is not really understandable.

It is a fact clearly demonstrative of their liberal drift, that the FSSPX has expelled a Catholic bishop for "denying the h0Ɩ0cαųst" and is preparing to receive, in a few more days, a conciliar, ecuмenist and liberal bishop, a philo-Jєωιѕн modernist defender of "Nostra Aetate":

"The declaration (Nostra Aetate) should not be considered a betrayal of the Christian faith. It is friendly. It is peaceful. It is open. It is in good faith, benevolent..."  From this sermon by Bishop Huonder.

As a thorough liberal, Bishop Huonder is also a friend of the Mohammedans. According to the 2017 Annual Report of the Swiss Bishops' Conference, in the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue, in the Sector "Non-Christian Religions, Commission for Dialogue with Muslims, and Working Group Asian and African Religions AG AAR", Bishop Huonder serves as "Corresponsible".


And one final fact about this bishop's stance on morality: it should be known that on March 15, 2013, Bishop Huonder removed Fr. Reto Nay from his canonical mission as punishment because of a GloriaTV video that denounced German bishops who allowed the use of the morning-after pill in "certain cases."

So if he was this great conservative, why did Bergoglio twice refuse his resignation?  Bergoglio would normally insist upon the resignation of a truly conservative/Traditional bishop ... and certainly not reject it.

IMO, Huonder was being groomed and set up as a "conservative" precisely in order to infiltrate the SSPX ... just like Ratzinger was having his persona re-created as "God's Rottweiler" when he was a flaming Modernist ("heretic worse than Luther" according to Bishop Tissier).  Huonder even chose Instaurare omnia in Christo as his episcopal motto upon his consecration in 2007.  So it's very possible that he's been groomed from very early on to infiltrate SSPX.
