May the good Lord reward Bishop Schenider and continue to strengthen him in his daily struggles.

"Deliver us, I pray, from the bonds of passion by the power of Your right hand. Accept the cry of Your people, O God feared, exalt and purify us. O most mighty Gd, preserve as the pupil of the eyes those who defend Your Unity. Bless us, purify us, grant us with Your kind justice, continuous reward. You who are the Most High and Holy, guide Your people gathered, with abundance of generosity. You who are the exalted Oneness, return to Your people who always remember Your holiness. Accept our prayers and hear our cries, O Thou who knowest from the covert."

Completely agree with you about Bishop Schneider. He is a gift from God. Met him once; he exudes sanctity in person. Mr. Davies would certainly have been a defender rather than a critic.

I have an honest question though. Please do not mark this comment as "spam," for it is not spam. How do you reconcile this attitude toward Bishop Schneider (who personally celebrates the New Mass) with your more hostile position toward Bishop Fellay? A couple of times in the past few months you have published articles (not to mention the many comments in this space) to the effect that Bp. Fellay has betrayed Tradition via his contacts with the authorities in Rome (such that even allowing him to remain as a consultant to the new Superior General is something to be upset about)? I don't understand.

In addition to your excellent question, I would like to add Jesus Christ's words: "For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me. 39And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of those He has given Me" God is in control and He will Not lose none that the Father has given Him.

Fair question. First off, if you can cite even one example of where any Remnant writer was "hostile" to Bishop Fellay we'd be happy to know about it. But we can save you the trouble--it never happened. Our moderators take heat for not approving some comments which are too heavily influenced by the animus or prejudice of the person leaving the comment and which tend to misconstrue what we actually said. We're trying to run a fair and constructive site, and allowing folks to come in here and accuse us, for example, of being "hostile" to Bishop Fellay is going to practically guarantee that our moderators will not approve the comment. Why? Because it's simply not true, and we recognize no obligation to approve inaccuracies which slander and/or calumniate our writers. Concern for the SSPX is hardly hostility.

Secondly, we are indeed concerned by what seems to us—as mere outside observers who certainly could be mistaken—an inordinate SSPX preoccupation with being considered "legitimate" by the mainstream Church. Trouble is, for the past 25 years many of us have put our reputations on the line, defending the legitimacy of the SSPX operating in a state of urgency in the Church. Quite candidly, who cares what Pope Francis's Vatican thinks of the SSPX? We certainly don't! And we're not even in the SSPX. We long for the day when the SSPX, in the spirit of Archbishop Lefebvre, says to the insufferable Pope Francis: We resist you to your face!

So, what's the difference between Bishop Schneider and the new SSPX? It's all about direction. Bishop Schneider was ordained and consecrated in the Novus Ordo, and yet he’s clearly moving against the Vatican and the whole Vatican II revolution, while the SSPX--which has led the charge for so long—seems to be moving away from its raison d’etre in what appears to be a near-constant search of “legitimacy.”

The Remnant has always supported good priests who may be saying the New Mass but whose orientation is pulling them away from Modernism and in the direction of Tradition. Therefore, Michael Davies, Michael Matt, John Rao, Archbishop Lefebvre, etc., always and consistently found ways to work with Tradition-minded priests who had not yet broken from the Novus Ordo officially but who were on their way. Father Vincent Miceli comes to mind--one of the great pioneers of this movement who only began exclusively offering the TLM toward the end of his life.

So our concern for the new SSPX is this apparent change in direction, which seems to cause them to worry more about their canonical status than about standing strong and publicly against Francis. I hope we're wrong and that this concern is misplaced. But where is the SSPX outrage over McCarrick? Where are they on Francis changing the Catechism of the Catholic Church to codify a heterodox position against capital punishment?

Granted, SSPX News will trot out one of their young talking heads to tell us the news of the day, but where is the SSPX's official condemnation of the Vatican's antics? Case in point: This is what is preoccupying the time of SSPX News today, the very day after Pope Francis rocked the world with his change to the Catechism: https://fsspx.news/en/news-...

Huh?

Where is the leadership we all counted on for so long? Again, who cares what the Vatican think of their lack of “canonical status” when the Vatican is now manned for the most part by homo-heretics? All we want is for the SSPX to get back to what it does best, and if this seems like "hostility" to you then I'm not sure what I can say, other than the SSPX which you obviously love, may be better served by charitable calls from the SSPX faithful for greater clarification from their leadership, rather than by blind obedience and unconditional support. We need the SSPX! Please, our concerns are based in love and appreciation--not hostility.

Thank you, sincerely, for taking the time to reply, especially at such length. I appreciate your courtesy and will refrain from quibbling about this or that.

Thank God for men like Davies, Rao and Lefebvre, and for the Remnant.
We're all in this together, and we're really up against it now. Adjutorium nostrum in nomine Domini.

Until there is a cleansing in the Church of homosexuality,for once and for all, all the faithful can hope for is to keep the faith with the assistance of good bishops as Bishop Schneider. Like Bishop Schneider, many of us are alone in the wolrd.
But it is good to have such good company as this fine bishop.
He is a such a great consolation for us in this very, very dark time of the Church.

The 'elephant in the room' Dubia question that needed to be asked then, and now is this: Is homosexuality an abomination?? yes or no?
Has any prelate stated that it was an abominiaton?
Perhaps i have missed it, along the way, but I have not heard this from any prelate.

Bishop Schneider for Pope!

Amen!!! this bishop is right on. Gay pride parades are obscene acts of depravity and debauchery. It must be banned by force of law. In this we should emulate Russia and ban LGBT propaganda to minors and gay pride parades. Christendom is rising in Russia. Salvation will come from the East

I just have to look at his joyful face. He would smile happily if he was being torn limb from limb. Lovely priest. Lovely bishop.

We need more voices to denounce evil. Good people are afraid to offend those who may have sold their soul to the devil. Much like in politics so many are afraid to challenge what's wrong lest they be labeled racists. It is not fanatical to promote truth but it is not only wrong but also un-natural to promote perversion and degradation of humanity. "For evil to triumph all good people have to do is nothing". This was stated by Edmund Burke, an Irish stateman.

I just wish there were more like him. How many bishops are there worldwide, and how many are willing to talk like this? A mere handful, it seems.

Here in our own states we have one, Bishop Rene Gracida. In light of the most recent total reversal on the Churches teaching on the death penalty, we need to at least give this good bishop's concerns serious consideration, and encourage our bishops and priests to do the same.

Too bad Canon Law was revised to have a bishop's retirement age at 75, otherwise he's still be the ordinary of Corpus Christi, Texas.

Bishop Schneider is a gift from God, but he is not infallible, and can be criticized. Love for Truth has priority over love for a bishop, and over any tactical considerations.

Really? Are you sure? Because the Baltimore Catechism, number 321 asks: Who is infallible? Answer: "Bishop Schneider is infallible, and under pain of mortal sin no man may criticize him...ever." Look it up.

Love it!!!

My fault – I have been using a wrong version of Catechism. It must have been Cardinal Schönborn omitted this article on purpose!

Cowardly bishops in the west like n.o.. cino ,O malley.of boston.since 1993 on.Homosexual so.called marriage ,Homosexuals gay pride and St. Patrick.parade are despiczble.......
