EXCLUSIVE: Bishop Schneider calls Amazon Synod a ‘tool’ to create ‘new kind of religion’

Bishop Athanasius Schneider, the auxiliary bishop of Astana, Kazakhstan, has granted LifeSiteNews a lengthy video interview about the Amazon Synod and the state of the Catholic Church.

Bishop Schneider is one of the most outspoken defenders of Catholic orthodoxy in the world. It was Bishop Schneider who, along with Cardinal Raymond Burke and other prelates, issued in June 2019 the “Declaration of Truths” to correct the rampant “doctrinal confusion” in the Church. Bishop Schneider has been at the forefront of defending the Catholic faith amidst the accelerating crisis in the Church during which bishops, cardinals, and even the Pope have either openly flouted or at least muddied Catholic teaching on a host of moral issues.

In his interview with LifeSiteNews, recorded on October 24 – the feast day of St. Raphael the Archangel – Bishop Schneider explained how the Amazon Synod was being used as a “tool” to change the Church and create “a new kind of religion, even.” 

He reacted to Bishop Erwin Kräutler’s claim that indigenous peoples of the Amazon “don’t understand celibacy” – “without [a] doubt, this is racism,” said Bishop Schneider – and commented on attempts to undermine the practice of priestly celibacy and introduce female “deacons.” 

In this wide-ranging interview, Bishop Schneider also spoke about the liturgy, the significance of the cassock, and life as a Catholic child in the Soviet Union.

I think he meant that assuming indigenous people were unable to comprehend celibacy was condescending, like they are too stupid, so we have to cut them some slack. It’s what George W. Bush called the “soft bigotry of low expectations”.

Kraeutler is calling the indigenous people too stupid to understand celibacy. That is racism.

Yes, someone else explained that.

I can see that meaning.

I believe his racism reference was to Bishop Krautler’s comment that Amazonians could not understand celibacy. A demeaning comment on their ability to learn.

Hiding the truth from an entire race is racism.
