Father Richard Boyle
My first choiceAnother good one!
My first choice
Why this Father Boyle?
IMO, anyone who has stuck with SSPX and has been loyal enough to merit consideration would therefore be disqualified as anyone's "choice".
SSPX will only pick some lackey who's compromised, but even outside of those, the rest have just gone along.
At the end of the day, therefore, it really doesn't matter.
I think that most of us here only attend SSPX chapels since it's what is available, so as long as they have valid Orders and you end up with a valid priest. Beyond that, you can't hope for much good.
What would the "best" of them do ... split off from SSPX due to an unwilingness to compromise? Oh, wait ... there are already 6 such bishops out there.
Father Boyle has some experience and class and is generally respected.
Agree that as the SSPX becomes increasingly compromised, it is harder and harder to accept them as a group.
But, I suppose most of us still view their Sacraments as valid, except for the priests who are from newChurch ordinations.
Fr. Steven Weber, I like him because I think he is a good, orthodox priest and pro EENS.
Cera,
Please tell us the priest's name and why you like him?

How about Father Purdy?
Fr Steven Webber, one of the only SSPX priests with the true Abp Lefebvre spirit left IMO. He is a very holy humble man, you can feel it in his presence, we were blessed with him for 3 years, he stands apart from the others we’ve encountered. We came to tradition 6 years ago and I have never encountered such a holy man beyond Bp Tissier who did our confirmations.

Has something changed? Fr Boyle struck me as a company man to the nth degree.

So, the reason I thought they had been stretching it out is that they were probably trying to stretch it out for a few years until they maneuvered Huonder into position to perform some ordinations, and then after a little while they would "consecrate" the Huonder-"ordained" doubtful priest as one of the bishops, after which all heck would break loose, Sacrametal chaos even worse than what they have due to the injetion of some Novus Ordo presbyters.Would the consecration be valid in your view if the ordination was not valid?
Fr. Kevin Robinson would be an outstanding choice. He is an excellent priest that I have been blessed to attend retreats with in the past. However, my assumption is SSPX leadership will go for a younger, less strongly/openly anti-modernist candidate.He is a great priest, possibly the best in the Society!
Has something changed? Fr Boyle struck me as a company man to the nth degree.Fr. Boyle was great when he was at my SSPX, as Incred said, he was well respected and well liked. He gave my dad the Last Rites, then about a week or so later, for no apparent reason and *completely* out of the blue, he called and said he wanted to come over and give my dad the apostolic blessing, which he did. It was only a few hours later that my dad died. Deo Gratias!

I'll take a company man like that any day.

Yes ... Kevin Robinson would be one of my top vote-getters also. Not only is he a good priest, a pastor of souls, but he's very sound doctrinally, on most subjects ... though in terms of EENS you're not going to find anyone who's all that great really.
Let's just say he doesn't shy away from the same controversial issues that Bishop Williamson fearlessly dealt with ... and that's of course why he's tucked away in the retreat house, not even a prior.
Basically, anybody who's any good or solid doctrinally ... vs. a yes-man itching for regularization ... doesn't have a snowballs' chance in hell of being selected.
Just the other day I was seeing a video from Bp. Sanborn and they were commenting how the French in general dislike Americans, and how they never had an American superior for the US seminary after him. Even though we have a lot of liberal American SSPX priests, it seems likely to me that we will have only European bishops.
No.He's good, but... he has been actively 'collaborating' with the canceled conciliar priest operation at Sanctus Ranch, in San Antonio, TX, giving retreats for youth, being a guest speaker.

If I were proposing candidates, two men came immediately to mind. Fr. Kevin Robinson (former Australian now American, not the Fr. Nye, the Science Guy!)
Fr. Timothy Pfeiffer, the other. However I seriously doubt they’ll consider either. The SSPX is still tied too closely to France.
Would the consecration be valid in your view if the ordination was not valid?
I feel like we’ve discussed this before but I don’t remember

Not only that, but I've read a few things he's written and ... just not good.
I was there. I had no idea that the Novus Ordo "Archbishop" and "priests" would be leading the procession on the Feast of the Purification. Father Purdy and all the SSPX priests and pilgrims followed them around the city praying the rosary which ended in the church of our Lady of Good Success. My stomach dropped when I noticed the table set up for the novus ordo service. I couldn't get out of there quick enough.
The whole Quito, Ecuador SSPX conquest operation he spearheaded (7) years back was not good.

Do you live in Quito? Or did they encourage people from other places to go there for this event?I went with my son and another friend. It was an advertised pilgrimage. My first time flying on a plane. We had no idea that we would be processing with the no order church. I was outraged.

My guess is that they will not consecrate anyone above 50.
