Pope Leo might want to have a few words with Bishop Schneider, but he would be better advised to ponder carefully what he says. The Roman Catholic Church sponsors services for migrants and so profits greatly from the migrant influx, but if what remains of Christian Europe is destroyed in the process, what good will all the Church’s money do?
“Bishop Schneider: Vatican complicit in migrant ‘invasion,’ ‘dechristianization,’” by Antonino Cambria, LifeSite News, October 27, 2026:
(LifeSiteNews) — During an interview published Saturday after the 2026 Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage, Bishop Athanasius Schneider reiterated that the mass migration of Muslims into Europe is an “invasion” and called out the Vatican’s support for the “Dechristianization” of the continent.
During the interview with the Remnant’s Michael Matt that aired October 24, Bishop Schneider discussed the ongoing riots in France, Italy, and across Europe that are the result of an Islamist “invasion” of the continent and are meant to frighten and intimidate the Christian population.
The bishop emphasized that not only are the European “elites” complicit in allowing this “invasion” and ultimately the “Dechristianization” of Europe but so is the Vatican, which gives spiritual credibility to the invasion.
Riots serve as ‘intimidation’ of Christians, Europeans
“But (the riots are) ultimately partly a complicit act … of this government in France or … in other European countries to simply scare us: the Europeans, the Christians to be silent. You are scared, ‘if you open your mouth, we will burn your house, we will burn the churches,’ as now they are doing in France,” he told Matt.
“They are doing an exercise for us; I think it’s a very cunning method also partly tolerated … by some responsible politicians in Europe to simply threaten us and scare us … a massive intimidation of Catholics or Christians in Europe,’” he added. “And this we may recognize, and even people of goodwill even who are not Catholics, who still have some sense of ‘I am a European, I am French or a German, (or) Italian to unite all these good forces to peacefully resist this intimidation and to issue stricter laws to protect the European population and to restrict really the so-called ‘immigration,’ which is not immigration; it is an invasion.”…

Better for the Roman Catholic Church, for Western Civilization and even for all of humanity were this guy the Pontifex Maximus instead of the highly foolish and willfully ignorant man who is.
The Roman Catholic Church, which has a long history of being a stalwart and very effective defender of the West from at least Popes Leo I and Gregory I onwards, has recently done a 180 and has become, for all intents and purposes, an enemy of the West. There is no way around not coming to this tragic conclusion.
James Lincoln says
Wellington.
Yes, Bishop Schneider would make an excellent Pope.
Instead, he will likely be excommunicated.
Big Dude says
The guy is right on the money
somehistory says
He’s right. How long will he keep his job?
The pope, the vatican (the pope) are more than “complicit.” The creature, who cares more for the “wild beast” than he does for the “sheep,:*encourages* the invasion and demands that Christians welcome the invaders and turn over to them whatever is demanded.
PRCS USN (ret) says
The creature?
Give it a rest.
Maria V says
I love Bishop Schneider. He is one of a handful of Prelates speaking out against the hierarchy in the Vatican. I recall when bergoglio was the ‘pope,’ barak hussein o went to talk to him in a private meeting. I personally Never saw that as a good thing but a rather ominous sign. Fast forward to Prevost who has taken up the mantal of his predecessor who of course is expediting bergoglio’s vision of totally destroying the Church. For Over 2,000yrs, man has been attempting to destroying Christ’s Church but we know His Church, His Bride, will in the End, rise victorious
somehistory says
2000 yeas….is not correct. Jesus ascended to heaven less than 2000 years ago., in 33. His Apostles and early disciples witnessed only to the Jews for three years after that….until 36.
The Catholic Church did not exist at that time.
Wellington says
But, somehistory, according to the Catholic Church it did exist at that time—from Peter, the first Pope, onwards, from 29-30 AD (not 33) onwards. One thing is for sure in all this and that is that the Roman Catholic Church has never deviated from this assertion.
somehistory says
Wellington, I am aware. However, I disagree with the Catholic doctrine.
And I have a multitude of Biblical reasons for disagreeing.
Jesus asked Peter if the man “loved” Him…three times….and Peter said ‘yes’ each time. And Jesus said, “Feed my little sheep.”
Jesus never meant that “feeding the sheep” would be feeding them to the enemy.
The current pope (and the previous one) have been ‘feeding the sheep to the enemy.’
Wellington says
Thanks for your reply, somehistory, and I hope you and yours are doing well.
As you probably know, a 6th century monk, one Dionysius Exiguus, according to virtually any source one wishes to reference, made a mistake in calculating Jesus’ birth by a matter of some four years and this mistake has been in “historical cement” ever since. So, it seems that Jesus was born in 4 BC (yes, I know this is a chronological oxymoron if ever there were one) and died most likely in 29 AD.
As for disagreeing with the Catholic doctrine, you have every right to do so, but I just wanted to indicate that the official Catholic position (which has never varied) is that per Matthew 16:18-19 Peter was anointed by Jesus as the first Pope. Frankly, and all things considered, I don’t see how what you conveyed about the feeding of sheep contradicts on its face the enormous importance that the Roman Catholic Church has placed upon the passage from Matthew which I mentioned but I would welcome more clarification by you if you are so inclined.
Again, hope all is well (in a very unwell world). Take care.
somehistory says
Thank you, Wellington.
The reason I mentioned the “feeding” is that even if the Catholics are correct and they proceeded from Peter being the ‘first pope’ (and with that I disagree), these things being open to interpretations, understanding, discernment, etc. based on trying to read Jesus’s words and make the right decisions about what He said,
even if…..the Catholic church is not doing what Jesus said to Peter, “Feed my sheep.”
I hope that clarifies what I wrote earlier. Of course, God is the Judge as He and His Son read the hearts of people.
As an imperfect human, I can only do as Jesus said we could do as we see what kind of “fruit’ is produced.
“A rotten tree produces rotten fruit.” Lots of rotten fruit from so many these days. That alone makes for a very unwell world.
and thank you. My son just bought a house and his little darlins are painting the inside walls. Doing a great job, too. They make my little portion of the world a lot better than would be without them.
Wellington says
Thanks again for your reply, somehistory.
Look, you know by now I am not religious but respect Christianity and certain other religions such as Judaism, Hinduism and Buddhism (all the while despising Islam), but I have to give credit where it is due and the Catholic Church, just here in America, let alone throughout history, from the inception of Christianity onwards, has done many great things, among them being defending Western Civilization vigorously (e.g., the papacy filling the political void in the western half of the Roman Empire when it collapsed in the 5th century AD and Popes like Urban II {1088-1099} sanctioning the use of force to combat Islamic “intentions”) and right here in America establishing hospitals and schools in very significant amounts and which did enormous good.
In brief, the Catholic Church historically has been a bulwark of Western Civilization and has done many, many good deeds, i.e., “feeding the sheep.” And even if one disagrees with its theology, as you do, I think fair is fair and that Catholicism’s achievements (including in the arts where it is quite arguable that it has the greatest artistic legacy of any religion in the history of man) should be noted, must be noted, by any fair-minded person. For the record.
somehistory says
Wellington, I respect the ‘good’ things done by people of the Catholic church. I was first raised in the church to which my father belonged….Presbyterian. I heard the Bible read there, learned Scriptural principles, sang songs in the choir, and saw many good things done. by very kind people.
I do not attend any Presbyterian church today. I have seen things that go against what I have since learned about Jesus. But, my memories of being a child in that church are dear to me.
As I wrote earlier, I do not ‘judge” the people who are members of any sect (and they are all sects), I do not judge Jews or those of other faiths or none. That is not for me to do.
But although many have done extraordinary and good things, I put my Trust and Faith in Jesus and His words rather than what others do say or believe.
Wellington says
Well, somehistory, I will conclude here on a very conciliatory note and in a spirit of friendship. It is this: If all of humanity abided by Jesus’s ethical teachings, it would be a far better world. Thomas Jefferson thought so and what was good enough for Tom is more than good enough for me.
Take care, my friend. Now, back to the fight against the iniquity of Islam—and which Thomas Jefferson, like John Quincy Adams, was fully aware of.
somehistory says
Thank you, Wellington. And with you on that, I can agree. Nice to be able to discuss so serious a subject with you.
If only more people in the world today could be informed and against the evil around us. How many are there like Mr. Jefferson or John Quincy Adams? Evidently, not many. Certainly not enough.
PRCS says
“I do not ‘judge” the people who are members of any sect”
You have judged the Pope, an imperfect human being; labeling him “the creature” more than once.
Mo says
(It’s impossible to reason with Catholics on this issue. I know from experience.)
GE says
I just finished Mr. Spencer’s book “The Church and the Pope”. According to Mr.Spencer, when there was an issue or heresy to be discussed they had Council meetings to address the issues, and decided as a whole body on a ruling. Even up to 800 when he crowned King Charlemagne, Pope Leo 111 did not hold to the later view that popes are above Ecumenical Councils. It seems that later popes thought all the other Sees and bishops should take their orders from Rome.
Fast forward to the brouhaha over the Filioque, which caused the great schism of 1054, and different factions excommunicating each other during a service in the Hagia Sofia.
As an Eastern Rite Catholic, we are in union with Rome,but I have
Serious doubts about papal infallibility. I pray for the pope (mostly that he gets his act together.)
And oh yeah–we still say the Filioque the way the Orthodox do. So what did it accomplish, the big uproar? Just my opinion, to me was like two bald guys fighting over a comb. Just a big power play by Rome.
Thanks for letting me have my say–been on my mind.
PS–kudos to Bishop Schneider.
somehistory says
“Two bald guys fighting over a comb.” that’s about it.
Each one should decide what his heart says is right according to knowledge because no one else can stand in line for another when Justice is served for each one.
Namer says
Bishop Schneider will be vilified for speaking the Truth.
Kuffar says
The so called Pope opens the door for murderers, rapists, child molesters, thieves and liars.
Oh God how much longer?
Huh!?! says
I too wonder how long this Bishop will keep his position. The Catholic church needs more like him. I doubt if the Pope will listen to him. When Islam attempted to overrun Europe all those years ago, the Christians were powerful enough to beat them back. Today it is all about “Islamophobia.” The Europeans need to look to their ancestors if they wish to remain Europeans. I pray for them.
Tim gallagher says
He is spot on. The last two popes are working to dechristianise Europe. Inviting Muslims, who hate Christianity so much, into the western world is insane. If the Christian god exists as I believe he does he is surely annoyed by the last two popes for working against Christianity and for evil islam.
Crusader says
I would not doubt if some Islamic ‘Royals’ have had some very ‘nice’ discussions with him. If he were really God’s mouthpiece on earth, he could see through to the deception, lies, evil and potential of the sheep being slaughtered. How can we mere mortals see it then? Just more evidence that the Papacy is malarky.
somehistory says
For those who care….and not for the atheist who understands nothing…
Looking at a person’s *fruit* and seeing how rotten it is….like the pope creature (every person is a creature) is what Jesus told us to do. He instructed that we would “know them by their fruits” and he was talking about “false shepherds, wolves in sheep’s clothing, false prophets, false Christs, graves full of dead men’s bones, dirty cups, snakes and vipers, ”
We, those of us who actually know and understand Christ (which atheists do not) are instructed to identify these ones by their “fruits” and then ***avoid**** them.
Judging a person is an entirely different matter. Saying these people producing rotten fruit are going to be consigned to destruction is the “judging’ we leave to God.
They are on the “road to destruction,” but they may change before God executes Judgment against them.
But the atheist who looks to cause trouble, will never understand that. To understand it, he would need to have a change of mind and heart.
Others may wonder….those who actually are just wondering. this should be enough for any ‘just wondering’ in sincerity.
PRCS USN (ret) says
You’ve expressed your hatred of Catholicism so many times.
Calling him ‘the pope creature'” is not ***avoiding***him, and your regurgitated excuse for doing so (“every person is a creature”) is laughable.
This ‘admitted’ atheist knows you’re not just hateful, but in claiming you do not “judge the people who are members of any sect” you’re both a hypocrite and a well practised liar.
Siddhi Nasranni says
Somehistory, according to the web site, ” Got Questions ” It says this about the beginning of the Catholic Church.
The Roman Catholic Church teaches that it began when the Holy Spirit descended on the day of Pentecost, fifty days after Jesus ascended into heaven (Acts 1:8; 2:1–13). Yet many of the doctrines that define Catholicism developed much later. For example, the office of the pope, the practice of praying the rosary, and doctrines like transubstantiation—the belief that the bread and cup of the Lord’s Supper change into the body and blood of Christ—emerged in subsequent centuries. For this reason, we do not place the beginning of the Roman Catholic Church at Pentecost. Rather, we would equate the beginning of Catholicism with Constantine’s Edict of Milan in AD 313 or Pope Gregory I’s consolidation of lands under his authority in 590.
somehistory says
Thank you, Siddhi. very much.
I have read (more than once) all of that. Over the years, I have read about most all of the different religions, including Catholicism.
I disagree with the Catholic church on many things. You listed some of those things.
I can think of only one thing with which I do agree, being against murder of the unborn babies.
However, it is up to each individual person to decide what he believes or doesn’t. Each one will be Judged by God on his decisions and choices.
We who see the “rotten fruit” of so many are like a jury in a court case. We are instructed in recognizing “rotten trees producing rotten fruit” but are not the Ones Who will ‘chop them down and throw them into the fire.’
Crusader says
Well it is about time. Can a new Pope be elected, I say we oust pope Leo. In Germany workers have a Church Tax deducted from each paycheck and the Catholic Church gets millions monthly, but apparently that is not enough. Muslims do not pay the Church tax, so tax money cannot be the reason. What else is behind the Vatican interfering with immigration politics? I cannot believe that Pope Leo is that naive. I don’t see a naive Jesus, i see someone who stood up for what is right. Who called hypocrits vipers and overturned tables in anger of people being taken advantage of. What Bible does Pope Leo read? The true one? I cannot even bring myself to enter a Catholic church anymore, knowing the Pope seems bent on Europe/the West’s demise!
Chess says
Come On, Silly Ones.
It’s SINGULARLY about JESUS CHRIST.
The rest is ALL global politicking.
Catch On.
Chess says
What does any of this global politicking have to do with Jesus Christ ?
This is why we are so divided.
Troybeam says
The Bishop has spoken the truth and bravely.
It is more than the catholic church being complicit, many faiths have done the same thing bringing in Muslims to non-Islamic nations, how much money did these churches get.
Greed is the starting point however do these churches understand that they have given way to their
demise by Islam as it begins the conquering of these nations?
Of course not.
KK says
The Pope of the Catholic Church is Apostate, Revelation Chpt. 13.

Probably for any muzzie running.
