New Collection of Insightful Interviews with Bishop Schneider

Over the years, Bishop Athanasius Schneider has granted many illuminating interviews that offer guidance, challenge, and comfort to the storm-tossed faithful.

This new volume — A Shepherd Solicitous for the Whole Church: Bishop Athanasius Schneider in Conversation with Dániel Fülep & Others — collects seven of them for the first time in one place: two substantial interviews conducted with His Excellency by the Hungarian theologian Dániel Fülep, plus five others, shorter but no less potent.

In wide-ranging exchanges, we hear Bishop Schneider reflecting on versus populum • the validity of the new sacramental rites • celibacy • patriarchy • women’s ordination • papal elections • papolatry • Amoris Laetitia La Salette • the conversion of Russia • the European Union • migration • Islam • the conversion of the Jews • Freemasonry • modernism • aggiornamento • the SSPX • the Neocatechumenal Way • praying the Rosary during Mass • Pius X’s reform of the breviary • episcopal conferences • and much else besides.

Amongst all women one alone was chosen to be His Mother, who is The Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mediatrix of All Graces. No other. Chosen from amongst all other holy Virgins.

Amongst all instruments one alone was chosen to be His Katechon, ("what witholdeth" (2 Thess. 2:6-7 -singular), which is the Latin Rite Mass of the Ages. No other. Chosen from amongst all other holy rites.
