An Ordinariate for Old Mass Catholics Not a Good Solution – Bishop Schneider
- Synodality is becoming a code word to further dilute the clarity of the Catholic faith.
- We are turning the Church into a permanent debating club and a kind of parliament, which goes against the divinely established structure of the Church. Synodal meetings are a waste of time and money, and they take bishops and lay people away from the vital work of evangelisation.
- The liturgy is the primary duty of the Church: to adore and worship God worthily.
- I am not convinced that an ordinariate for the traditional liturgy is a good solution. It would isolate those attached to the traditional liturgy, but the Mass should be for everyone. The traditional Latin Mass must be at the heart of the Church again, and become commonplace.
- A bishop should not have the right to impede or limit the traditional Latin Mass.
- The presence of women at the altar transmits Protestant-like informality and destroys the sacredness and sublimity of the Catholic liturgy.
- To say that the Society of Saint Pius X does not believe in the Pope is completely false and even slanderous.
- Vatican II is only one of twenty-one ecumenical councils, and it must not be absolutised.
- There is a text in Lumen Gentium which states that Catholics and Muslims adore the same God. It is ambiguous and causes much confusion today.
- In Kazakhstan, some people from a Muslim background come to the Catholic church simply to seek silence. During Eucharistic adoration, they experience a deep peace that they cannot find in the mosque, which becomes the first step on their journey to faith.
