You spelled "Zendejas" wrong.

I thought the same and asked about this. I was told by a casual priest-observer that another bishop would seem excessive and that there wouldn't be another consecration for another 5 or 10 years unless there was a big influx from the SSPX.

Excessive?? I don't think so. If we are to use the number of Bishops ABL consecrated, then the magic number is 4. Assuming Bishop Williamson only intends to consecrate the same number of Bishops as ABL then my opinion is---It has to be in ASIA.

It must be noted that the impending Chastisement (World War 3....etc) has to be taken into consideration. Most probably, the Bishops can no longer travel freely when War breaks out. My opinion in this case would be, 4 is simply not enough. Distribution of Bishops in my opinion will go something like this: 1 North America, 1 South America, 2 already in Europe, 1 Asia, 1 Australia. 6 Bishops I think would be the bare minimum.

If we consider a scenario wherein a Bishop in North America gets killed, the one in South America would serve as a back-up and would have to consecrate a new Bishop. Same procedure in Europe and Asia.

You were told this by someone who is in the know and was informing you, or you were told as in someone was stating their opinion?

Based on +Williamson's own past public statements, and the reality of the situation (entire continents still without a bishop and "all 3" Resistant bishops currently rather old and occupied, especially for their age)

I must say B).

Remember, there are THREE Resistant bishops now.

Even if we assume they all want to be on the same page (not consecrating anyone without the agreement of the other two, just to make sure no one is "crazy" in their choice of candidate or timing), there are still 2 other voices that would tug on the "most conservative" one, to wake him up, give him a nudge, etc.

So if the reality is that the world needs another bishop, it's more likely to happen now.

Each bishop has the counsel of 2 other brother-bishops to consider now.

The person who told me this is "in the know". However, 5 years is not 20 and we can see this unfold rather fast. There has to be a justification for more bishops, and 4 bishops to manage the faithful of about 40 priests is certainly excessive. That's about 1 bishop per 10 priests. The age thing could be factored in and would seem like a likely reason why this priest in the know said 5 or 10 years. It really depends on the need.
