Bishop Schneider criticizes 50 years of relativism in the Church since Vatican II, especially regarding the first commandment and the Holy Trinity. He rejects the idea that Muslims worship the same God, calling this false ecumenism a betrayal of Christ and an act of anti-charity for not proclaiming the true faith.

Transcript:

I think that this is a consequence of already 50 years in the church of relativism concerning the first commandment, “You shall not have other gods beside me,” and who is me? The Holy Trinity. This is the true God. Not only is there one God, well, the Muslims say there is one God. No, our God is the only one true God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This is God. This is God. And not only is there one God, of course, but who is the one God? We know him, and the Muslims reject him; Father, Son, and Holy Ghost reject him. And therefore, this is a false religion.

And therefore, but since the council, and partly because of the document of the council, Nostra Aetate, and then the so-called ecumenism, the false ecumenism, which, unfortunately, even the Holy See propagated, and is still propagating, and the bishops, the majority, they say, “Well, all religions, ultimately, are ways to salvation. So why will we bother the Muslims? They believe in one God. Okay? We are adoring with the Muslims the same God.” This is written in Lumen Gentium 16. So it’s a logical consequence, to me, the behavior now of Pope Francis and of the majority of the Western European bishops to even welcome the Muslims and say, “Oh, you will be all saved. Don’t bother.”

And this is ultimately, for me, a treachery of Christ, a betrayal, a betrayal of Christ, of this clergy and bishops who are in such an irresponsible manner, denying Christ in some way, and refusing to give these poor souls of Muslims the knowledge of Christ. This is for me, a great act of anti-charity for my neighbor, Muslim, who has to, who has, they have to say to him the happiness of knowing Christ, and me. And therefore, when I am a Catholic, a priest, bishop, and so, even a pope, I don’t act actively, of course, with respect and with charity. We cannot, as the apostles did, propose to them the faith, not obliging them, not forcing them. Never. The apostles did this. The church never did this. And so this is a consequence of the relativism for me, which already reigned in the false ecumenism 50 years in the church, but started with the council also.
