Dr. Robert Moynihan:
Okay, so this is a dramatic vision that you’re sketching. You grew up in the Soviet Union, you’re traveling now to the United States, the Soviet Union was a controlled society, is this truly a controlled society? Because we consider ourselves free, one of our great phrases is: give me liberty or give me death.
Bishop Athanasius Schneider:
Yes, saying that, of course, the communist society was a society of total control. But in those times, they were not yet this technical means of control as today, after now, for almost more than 30 years since collapse, they have not yet, in those times, these technological means of control. Now, we have them, it is evident, as we all know, it is stated in our daily life, in our travels, and so on. The technology and our emails and in our cell phones and so on, are already controlled. We all know this. Now is it repeating through this global vaccination. It’s a further step. I will not dwell into the technological details of the vaccination but only the fact of this that is promoted with such intense urgency. This is already a sign of preoccupation and concern. So we have to, again, create a world chain of movement of all people of goodwill, to regain the basic civil freedom to be not treated as little children who do not know what they are doing, or as slaves by a small and powerful group of elites, which is dictating to all governments of all nations until the detail how to behave. For example, in this COVID crisis. It was a very detailed elaborated plan from a kind of central elite group who is giving the same orders with the same details and terminology to all countries of the world.
Dr. Robert Moynihan:
So you’re saying your evidence for the fact that for what you believe is a global coordinated effort, is the very fact that the same phrases were used in different countries, the same programs were unfolded and unrolled?
Bishop Athanasius Schneider:
it is not my belief, it is, I state, you can state the facts. We are not stupid, I mean, we have to simply open our eyes and our mind. We state this that even into the details, the signs, the symbols, the terminology, the plans, all are coordinated, you cannot simply fall from heaven.
Dr. Robert Moynihan:
Well, you are a Catholic, pre Catholic priest and Bishop and you are presenting yourself as you mentioned there needs to be a global community that coordinates a type of resistance to this. Are you truly saying that?
Bishop Athanasius Schneider:
Yes, of course. We do need it for the sake of reestablishing our true and worthy human life. To restore the dignity of human life and to respect the freedom, the true freedom, and to eliminate all signs of tyranny and dictatorship.
Dr. Robert Moynihan:
Tyranny and dictatorship. But do you think that you have any allies in this?
Bishop Athanasius Schneider:
I think that history showed that there were always people, in difficult times, who started a resistance. We know the Resistance movements in the Nazi Germany. We know the Resistance movements in the Communist countries and those who fought in the Resistance movements later when the dictatorial systems collapsed. They were honored as real heroes. But they were persecuted, of course, in the time of their resistance, and so I think we have to really unite all countries with all its people of goodwill in all levels of society to simply use their common sense.
Dr. Robert Moynihan:
I have to say, I must interject. We have at the head of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis, he’s asked people to more or less accept and agree with and go along with this coordinated effort to create some type of global response to the virus with this vaccination, and then to accept the restrictions, the masks, etc. How can you explain that this successor of Peter could be so different in his analysis of this situation than you are, and are also a bishop in the same church?
Bishop Athanasius Schneider:
I think this is not the task of a Pope to help such a global movement, which is evidently in an excessive form, restricting the fundamental liberties of human society, the individuals, to be the promoter of such simpler worldly realities. This is not a task of the Church. This was not the task of St. Peter, which Christ gave him and to his successors. Peter said, when the temptation came, that the first Pope and the first bishops, the Apostles, wanted to deal more with earthly realities like to serve the tables. Have you read this in the Acts of the Apostles?
Dr. Robert Moynihan:
Yes
Bishop Athanasius Schneider:
Peter, the Apostle said, it is not fitting. It’s not good that we abandon our first task, which is: prayer, the glorification of God, the liturgy, and the proclamation of the Gospel of the truth and of the Word, with these every part of the Church must follow. Unfortunately, during 2000 years, there were cases when some Popes did not follow these. They were immersed in worldly realities forgetting the first task of praying, promoting prayer life, the preaching of the truth of the Gospel, and the salvation of souls not of salvation of bodies. So, we had, for example, in the Renaissance times, Popes who were completely immersed in worldly things.
Dr. Robert Moynihan:
Alexander Borgia,
Bishop Athanasius Schneider:
Yes, for example. Even Julius II was almost spending his time as a Pope commanding an army and so on. On another note, Leo X spends his time working, diverting himself to music and other worldly filthy things. In any case, this is, for me, also a sign that the current Pope must deeply reflect if he is really observing the first mandate which Christ gave to Peter and he really should take it seriously, the words of St. Peter, which we mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles.
