You post so much absurdity it's hard to keep up. You say, "Msgr. Lefebvre was asked to submit several names from which the Pope would pick one, but he refused."
You make it sound rude and obdurate. But he had been playing Rome's game long enough. He had already sent countless dossiers of good honest orthodox priests--none were ever approved. So he understood at this point the fix was in. Yes, he lived four more years--but he was old and ailing. He couldn't have known this. He might have indeed been dead within days for all he knew. He also knew no name would please the Pontiff unless it were of someone easily manipulated--one of the moles who within days after the consecrations went over to the Pope's side and became the Priestly Fraternity.
He had sent three (see the Fideliter interview).

"Moles," ultima? You're assuming that the SSPX was right. If Msgr. Lefebvre was in the wrong, then it was Dom Gerard and the FSSP priests who were the true Catholics.

Then Bishop de Mayer could have done the consecration.
