Aquino Obispo, or Tomas Obispo (if things were normal). Like in San Louis Obispo.

Later on, we would be able to say, San Tomas Obispo, because things would be perhaps normal once again.

I don't know what that means, but you know that Brazil speaks portuguese, right? Maybe you are trying to say Bispo Tomas Aquino. However, in Portuguese the proper title for a bishop is "Dom", just like the title of a prior. So his name will remain Dom Tomás Aquino.

(In Spanish it would have been Mons. Tomás Aquino.)

Based on previous alliances, especially vis-a-vis Fr. Hewko, I can see how this could become the Kentucky solution.

Previous alliances? Kentucky solution? vis-a-vis Fr. Hewko?

BJ5: Can you explain?

Frs Hewko and Pfeiffer have made several visits to the Brazilian monastery and are (theoretically) on good terms. Fr. Hewko spent some time with the Benedictine Monastery in Silver City and has an affinity for the order. So assuming the relationship with Brazil remains in tact, one can foresee an opportunity to have Kentucky seminarians transported to Brazil for orders.

Don't count on it. Dom Tomás is going to follow the advice of his brother bishops. If you think he is going to sneak around them ordaining priests, you're being very hopeful, but wrong. Fr. Hewko does not maintain a close relationship with the Benedictines of Brazil. When he came here, he didn't speak much to anyone and kept by Fr. Pfeiffer's side. Enough responsible priests would speak to Dom Tomás before he goes ordaining Fr. Pfeiffer's seminarians. Two years ago when Fr. Pfeiffer published a video speaking against Bishop Williamson, the Holy Cross Monastery made serious moves to disassociate themselves with Kentucky. Any sort of so-called alliance that has been made out was with false allegations that Dom Tomás supports the red-lighting of the entire SSPX. Anyone who reads what he writes or has followed his past actions, knows that he will follow the advice if the other two bishops with all prudence. Even if he didn't maintain close contact with the other two bishops, I don't see him ordaining seminarians that he knows nothing about. Even if Fr. Pfeiffer asks him to, he will consult with the other two bishops.
