Bishop Athanasius Schneider acknowledges the current grave crisis in the Church but expresses hope, noting that God always provides solutions through humble, hidden instruments. He observes signs of renewal worldwide, driven by the Holy Spirit, and urges patience and faith as the Church undergoes this divine process of restoration.

This is a very grievous crisis for me. But every crisis, God sends the solutions and sends his instruments, and often they were simple and firstly, start with hidden one, hidden realities in the church. And a simple one, little one. And so time by time, God renews his church. And so also in our time, I can observe in so many parts of the world this beginning of the renewal of the church, slowly but very clearly. This is the Holy Spirit, and nobody can hinder the Holy Spirit from making this even not a cardinal, not a bishop, the Holy Spirit is using the little one in the church to renew this so and so. I hope that we will proceed with patience and with much faith in this work of the renewal of the church, of our Holy Mother Church.
