You are speculating based on the assumption that it's impossible that Catholics are or will be orphans during the consummation.
Since the Vatican Council says that there will be shepherds until the consummation, according to Our Lord's promise, your assumption is unacceptable.

I am not basing a speculation on an assumption, I am accepting as fact what both V1 and Our Lord Himself said in John 14:18:
"I will not leave you orphans, I will come to you."Since the Vatican Council says that there will be shepherds until the consummation, according to Our Lord's promise, for faithful Catholics it is a fact that we will not be left as orphans, that there will always be priests and bishops for faithful Catholics, as long as there are faithful Catholics in this world.
