Recently visiting the Philippines,
Bishop Athanasius Schneider gave a wide-ranging interview to Adrian
Milag TV on May 20, also addressing the upcoming FSSPX episcopal
consecrations. Key quotes
Appeal to Pope Leo XIV on the FSSPX episcopal consecrations
"Do
not go down in history, dear Pope Leo XIV, as the Pope who accepted or
permitted that there was a schism or again excommunications and a wound
opened again — which was not necessary."
Leo XIV’s generosity toward other religions
"You
are so generous with the other confessions, receiving the lady
Archbishopess of Canterbury... visiting mosques and so on. Why can't you
do some gestures towards your own children?"
Calling for an exceptional papal permission
"Grant
them in exceptional way the permission to consecrate bishops who will
love you and pray for you — and later you can find with them a solution.
It takes time."
Leo XIV’s inner circle driving hard-line policy
"Be
a father, be a son of Augustine to do the peace and let speak your
heart and not your entourage who will influence you and counsel you to
excommunicate them."
"I saw Cardinal Fernandez is preparing for the excommunication, if they will push through on July 1."
Defending Archbishop Lefebvre
"Ever
more I am convinced that the work of Archbishop Lefebvre is a great
work for the entire church — it will go down in history."
Juridical problem is secondary
"The
juridical aspect is secondary because of the obvious confusion and
emergency situation within the church where the Holy See is not fully
guaranteeing the keeping of truly 100% integrity of the Catholic faith."
Vatican demands acceptance of doctrinal ambiguity
"The
Holy See is demanding from the Priestly Fraternity of Pius X... to
accept some ambiguous affirmations of the Council, to accept the method
of the ambiguous ecumenical methods of the Holy See, which is
relativizing the uniqueness of our Lord."
“The document of Abu Dhabi is de facto… denying the Gospel and the first commandment of God.”
“There
was in this document hidden a real poison… the diversity of religions
in plural is the expression of the wise will of God… This is impossible,
this is a heresy.”
