Yes, it seems likely that Huonder’s consecration of holy oils is a preparation of the faithful for the acceptance of Rome-approved (or even Rome-consecrated) bishops (Note the proximity of +Williamson's revelation of rumors of imminent episcopal consecrations, with Huonder consecrating holy oils a couple weeks later).
I suspect they wanted this news to be widely diffused, to use it as a trial balloon and gauge their "progress:"
If there are no grumblings in the ranks or pews (and there aren't), it signals to Rome that it is safe to give the SSPX bishops; no need to fear the SSPX any more; they are no threat to conciliarism..."
Bump.
Notice the date of Sean's post !!!
Saw this yesterday on a French site: They are reposting from: Editions Saint-Rémi. [ESR]

ESR: "...However, we are witnessing operations on the part of the superiors of the SSPX which seem very serious to us. Indeed the involvement of the dubious bishop Vitus Huonder in the future ordinations and future consecrations of the FSSPX,
was announced on April 18, 2023 by videoconference to the leaders of the FSSPX by Father Pagliarani, superior of the work founded by Mgr Lefebvre. Vitus Huonder was consecrated in the new rites of Paul VI. The validity of these new rites is called into question according to numerous studies that we publish (...), both because of the form of the sacrament which contain alterations in its meaning, and the legitimacy of those who promulgated them. The wolf in the fold, Vitus Huonder, was introduced on May 20, 2019 by Father Pagliarani into the FSSPX, to allegedly “dedicate himself to prayer and silence”, is now activated by Menzingen (General House of the FSSPX) who makes him officiate as a validly consecrated bishop. He thus falsely consecrated the “holy” oils during the Chrism Mass on Maundy Thursday 2023..."
++++++
ESR was dragged to court in 2011 for publishing 3 Volume Set of "Sermons de Mgr. Marcel Lefebvre".
They had a contract with the relatives of +L, but the FSSPX thought differently. I will post an article on this important shift of the Society before Christmas. Their accusations reveal a root principle that introduced + F Declaration (2012).
Hint: Attacking the enemies of the Church is not a position the neoSSPX values any longer.
iws that is
