C'est ce que dit le National Catholic Register (Etats-Unis), ajoutant que ce nouvel évêque pourrait être l'abbé Franz Schmidberger.

Roger McCaffrey [who published Latin Mass magazine] sees the real possibility of the Pope consecrating a fifth SSPX bishop, which, he feels, would “solidify” any agreement. The new bishop, he said, “would be a message to the society malcontents that the Pope is sincere; but, to those same people, he would personify, by virtue of the fact that he would remain with Fellay and Rome, that the malcontents are fringe.” He also believes the bishop would guarantee that the SSPX would continue if Bishop Fellay were to die.

McCaffrey’s favorite candidate would be Father Franz Schmidberger, district superior of the SSPX in Germany. “He is someone none of the malcontents can criticize per se,” he said, adding that he was in a senior position in 1988 when the other bishops, including Bishop Fellay, were illegitimately consecrated by SSPX’s founder, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre.

Msgr. Bux wouldn’t be drawn on the speculation, simply saying, “The Holy Father is sovereign in all his decisions.”
