Michael Matt: You have been outspoken in expressing your concern over vaccination, which again Pope Francis has lent his moral authority to endorsing. Do you not think that you are showing a lack of concern for the body by not endorsing the vaccines to keep people safe and healthy? People must say this to you. What is your answer to that?
Bishop Athanasius Schneider: Well, I never rejected the vaccine as such. The vaccine is a question of medicine, which I am not competent in. I accept the vaccine if the condition is that this vaccine is produced morally licit. My only concern main concern was the moral concern because of the connection of the link with the abortion industry, with the so called abortion tainted vaccines. The world powers admit to currently only abortion tainted vaccines, even though we could have vaccines that are not abortion tainted. This already shows that there is an agenda behind to promote abortion implicitly so that the entire world and the Catholic Church will, in some way, normalize the horror of genocide by accepting the products even if this is a long line. Even so, this is a product of abortion. The other aspect, which churchmen and good Catholics forget or ignore, is the second aspect, the so-called fetal industry. There are two in the blockchain industry. Well, we can be far away, but we are not far away from the fetal industry, which is growing every day and is horrible cannibalism.
This is cannibalism, the fetal industry using the exploits and markets tissues of the bodies of innocent children who were killed, murdered, their tissues, their cells, cell lines, and this is the substance of the so-called fetal industry. The currently approved vaccines are all part of the great fetal industry, a product. When we accept these, we are close. We support them by accepting the products. This horror is unique and monstrous and cannot be compared with other evils which we must in some way accept in this materialistic, atheistic society, like the products of slavery work. It is incomparable with the horror of murdering innocent children. It is unique in all history, and therefore, all the comparisons that some good Catholics use, such as slavery, work products, and so on, from history do not apply to this situation. Therefore, the Church and other people who accept abortion tainted products, in this case, the vaccines, are committing a grievous sin of omission.
This omission is the omission of unambiguously protesting against the fetal industry and its products. This grievous sin of omission will be reported in history after our life that in this crucial time a genocide was perpetrated a global cannibalism veiled with technology and veiled with the pretext of care of health while promoting and the Church was silencing or even supporting by accepting these products and promoting these products by mandating Church authorities for their priests to accept these subordinated vaccines to celebrate Mass and administer sacraments. Therefore, I am not against vaccines but against only this aspect. The other aspect is secondary for me, which touches science, in which I am not competent, but we have common sense. Even the companies of the abortion tainted anti-COVID-19 vaccines acknowledge that the vaccine is still in an experimental phase. It is simply common sense. They also acknowledge and write in the instructions that they are not responsible for eventual negative side effects. They acknowledge this, and these two facts experimental phase, and their acknowledgment that they are not accountable for possible negative effects should make every person of common sense reflect and say that there is something wrong, or at least that we should be cautious. We cannot impose or mandate these products. Let us at least leave the decision to everyone in complete freedom
Michael Matt: Your Excellency, quite frankly, what is going on? People say that what is happening with the vaccines is merely making money for pharmaceutical companies. I am no longer of that opinion. I think something far more fundamentally evil is going on. I will give you an example of the question I want to ask you. There was the former head of Planned Parenthood on one of the networks recently, and she was saying that someone who is not vaccinated should not be allowed to have treatment in a hospital, should not even be allowed to come in with a heart attack and be treated, and she was screaming. There was evil in her eyes. Now you have the Vatican basically saying the same thing. If you are not vaccinated, you cannot come to the holy place, the holiest place in Christendom. I do not believe that either the Vatican or this former Planned Parenthood head is trying to make pharmaceutical companies rich. I do not believe that is the main agenda. So I wonder if you could be looking at something overtly demonic. How is it that the demand to get vaccinated in the Vatican and at Planned Parenthood is the same? What is happening? Do you think it is just a financial thing for them?
Bishop Athanasius Schneider: I completely agree with you. I repeat that we have to use our common sense. My impression is that we lost so much common sense. Please use common sense, and then you will reach what you say. This is evident. It is not only a question of money. Maybe it is also a question of money, but in my opinion, it is secondary. The main agenda behind this is ideological. The methods are already those of a real dictatorship. If you establish a two-class society, those who are second-class people who are not vaccinated and who will not have access already in some countries to specific places like supermarkets, restaurants, theaters, and so on, if they are not vaccinated, there is also transportation, work, and professions.
From their conscience, whether religious conviction or medical conviction, that they cannot accept these types of anti-COVID vaccines, they are made second-class citizens, like apartheid in South Africa. It reminds me of that, or even the policy of Hitler, where in Nazi Germany, some places had signs that said forbidden for Jews. Now we have a new dictatorship where it is forbidden for the unvaccinated to enter. We have a demonstration of a new form of dictatorship, a discrimination similar to the cases I mentioned. Therefore, it is a demonstration. It is not primarily a question of finance or money, and we do not know. Maybe history will show what is behind this vaccine campaign, what is the principal reason or aim. Maybe we will know this after some time. Some people say with some proof that one of the main aims behind this global vaccine campaign is to reduce the world population, a kind of population control.
I would not exclude this because the powers against God in history and in recent history in dictatorships have two pillars. The first is simply lying. This is diabolical because our Lord said the devil is the father of lies. The second pillar is murder murdering. Again, it is diabolical because our Lord said the devil is the murderer from the beginning. Murdering man, who was created in the image of God the dignity of the human being and was redeemed by our Lord Jesus Christ by his blood and called to eternal life. The devil hates the human being. These dictators, we witness the first great anti-human dictatorship was the French Revolution terror, then the Soviet communist terror, then the Nazi terror. Now we have another very sophisticated terror, the world terror of terrorizing and discriminating against people with forced mandated vaccinations. In this case, the state is appropriating our body. We are losing not only property but also the right to my own body, which is a temple of the Holy Spirit. This is for me a sign of an ever-growing materialistic atheistic, and what I name the neo communist world dictatorship. We have to resist them with all the means we have, and I hope that a worldwide alliance of people of goodwill and common sense will be created to resist this new so-called dictatorship by the pretext of healthcare.
