Bishop Schneider says such an action violates divine order and calls the woman involved a transvestite, stating she was not Catholic. He considers the bishop’s participation a grievous abuse of the Mass that should be punished. He laments the lack of penalties, which encourages further abuses, while traditional Latin Mass communities face harsh treatment.

No, they cannot be priests. This is against the divine order. Therefore, this is a kind of, I would say, a clown woman. She is simply a kind of transvestite herself. And of course, she was not a Catholic, and this is very grievous, as a bishop can celebrate this. It is a grievous abuse, and he must be punished by the Pope. He cannot leave such a grievous desecration of the Mass and of the church order unpunished. Tragically, such grievous public acts are not punished in our day. This is a sign given to others that they can also do this and will not be punished. If this bishop was not punished for such a grievous abuse of the Holy Mass, without any punishment, it becomes a message to others that they can also do this.

But when there is a priest and a community who ask to celebrate the Mass of all ages, the Mass of all saints, the traditional Latin Mass, they are treated with severity and sometimes cruelty. This is really a scandal, and we have to state this and ask the Lord to illuminate the Pope to act on this issue and to protect the people from the arbitrariness of these huge abuses of clericalism.
