Mr. Robert: Many people, nevertheless, are quite concerned about the global situation, about looming restrictions, totalitarianism. In Italy, there have been docked workers in Trieste striking against the requirement to receive the vaccination. There are many people who feel these times are so confusing and so dangerous that they speak about the end of the world. And you said in Christus Vincit in his inaugural encyclical, a supreme Saint Pius the 10th. So he was Pope in the first years of the 1900s, so 110 120 years, 20 years ago, he remarked that so serious was The Gathering Storm of error at the beginning of the 20th century, relativism, modernism, that he would not be surprised to hear that The Antichrist was already on this earth? Where do you think we are more than 100 years later? Do you believe the Antichrist is here?
Bishop Athanasius Schneider: Well, we are seeing ever more the phenomena which Pope Pius X described 100 years ago are increasing ever more, the relativism, the fight against God, against his laws, and so the signs of the end time are more clearly now in our time. But nevertheless, it is not up to us to know the time, as Jesus Christ told to the apostles in the act of the apostles, it’s not to you upon you to know the times we have to be always vigilant and ready for the Coming of the Lord, and even though we can observe really signs of a kind of pre Annunciation of some clear signs of the end times, nevertheless we don’t know how long can This last, and we don’t know if God will concede the humanity in the church again, a time of true flourishment, spiritual, renewable. And I believe that God can, maybe will grant to humanity and to the church a time of really spiritual renewal, and to the church also. Or, as Our Lady in Fatima said, at the end, at the end, maybe at the end times my immunoglobulin Heart will triumph. It could be that this time of a new renewal and true springtime of the church and a peaceful life of the civil society and dignity will be granted by God, because Our Lady in Fatima said that the pope should consecrate Russia to my Immaculate Heart. I was just going to ask you, yes. And then she added, and Russia will convert, but after the consecration, so we have to follow her words. So the sequence of the words is the consecration to Russia, then she speaks about the conversion of Russia, and then she speaks, and then God will grant to humanity a time of peace. And I think we can believe that God will still grant humanity a time of peace.
