In this video, Bishop Athanasius Schneider emphasizes the critical role of the laity during the Church's current crisis. He urges laypeople to boldly confess Christ and defend essential values like marriage and family, which are under threat both in society and within the Church. Bishop Schneider highlights the importance of the laity's witness not only for the world but also to strengthen the faith of clergy and bishops. This aligns with the Second Vatican Council's recognition of the unique mission of the laity in contributing to the Church's spiritual well-being. The video underscores the urgent need for active engagement and contribution by the laity during challenging times in the Church.
