Leo XIV's Personnel Decisions of Paramount Importance - Bishop Schneider
On September 4, Gloria.tv published a German video interview with Bishop Athanasius Schneider (below). Main points - shortened and slightly summarised.
- The freedom of the classical Roman Rite is a matter of justice. The Church cannot commit such a major fracture by prohibiting a form of Mass that it itself valued and recommended for over a thousand years.
"I would like to talk to Leo XIV about the classical Mass"
- The Roman Rite is not the 'Tridentine Mass'. The missals before and after the Council of Trent (1545–1562) are the same. Minor changes were to saints' feasts or readings.
- For example, Pope Innocent III (1161–1216) wrote a famous commentary on the order of Mass, in which he discusses exactly the same Mass.
- If the liturgy is restricted to the extent ordered by Pope Francis, it inevitably appears suspect, as though there were something intrinsically wrong with it. It is therefore important that cardinals and bishops are able to communicate this concern to Pope Leo XIV. I …More
Is Archbishop Schneider trying to serve us the narrative of the good, ill-advised pope in these terms: "Unfortunately, there are still high-ranking clergymen in office in the Vatican who wield a great deal of influence. The Pope must therefore ensure that he surrounds himself with good collaborators."
Here some of the tremendously important appointments
Fr. Beat Grögli, confirmed as bishop of St. Gallen, advocates women’s ordination and same-sex blessings.
Bishop Shane Mackinlay, promoted to Archbishop of Brisbane, once installed a Hindu goddess in his cathedral.
Bishop José Antonio Satué, supporter of Fiducia Supplicans, raised to Málaga.
Fr. Thomas Hennen, drafter of LGBT guidelines in Davenport, made bishop of Baker, Oregon.
Raúl Martín of Paraná, scourge of kneeling and ad orientem worship, confirmed in Argentina.
Edward Weisenburger, destroyer of the Latin Mass in Detroit, rewarded with a pallium in Rome.
Cardinal Robert McElroy, rainbow liturgist of San Diego, honored in St. Peter’s as a model of “communion.”
Helder verhaal, heldere taal. De Rooms Katholieke kerk is door deze veranderingen in het Westen geminimaliseerd en de de Rooms Katholieke gelovigen die een andere moraliteit nastreven zullen zich losmaken van de reguliere Rooms Katholieke kerk. Het Rooms Katholieke geloof in het Westen heeft veel geld maar geen gelovigen meer, een schatting leert dat slechts 10%, ca. 130 miljoen Rooms Katholieken van de 1300 miljoen van alle Rooms Katholieke gelovigen in het Westen nog het geloof belijd zoals dat door het Vaticaan wordt gepromoot.
Go to the TLM in Latin. But don’t forbid the vernacular. It’s absurd in this day and age.
Pope Pius V issued the Missal of the Roman Rite. It didn’t invent the Mass. It preserved and standardized the form that had grown organically over 1,000+ years.
I’m looking forward to hearing Bishop Schneider’s comments at the Catholic Identity Conference next month.
Leo appointments are already clear. Nobody is asking to change the NO, the NO is its own solution. We are simply asking that Catholics faithful and clergy who practise in the Old Rite be permitted to do so without Catholic persecution.
Schneider: “Leo, dear, what big eyes you have!” “So that I can see my sheep, dear child” Schneider: “Leo, dear, what big ears you have!” “So, that I can hear Latin chants, my child” “Leo, dear what big teeth you have!” “So that I can…”
