Bishop Schneider criticizes religious relativism in the Church since Vatican II, especially stemming from Nostra Aetate and Lumen Gentium. He rejects the idea that Muslims worship the same God, calling Islam a false religion. He sees current ecumenical practices as a betrayal of Christ and a denial of missionary charity.

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 besides me.” And who is “me”? The Holy Trinity. This is the true God. Not only “there is 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. 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 would 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 consequence, when we are adoring together with the Muslims, one God, so I don’t have to convert him. We are adoring this. It says the text of the council.

It is a logical consequence, to me, of 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 betrayal of Christ, a betrayal of Christ, of these 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 behalf, for my neighbor, a Muslim, who has to, who has, they have say to him the happiness to know Christ and me. And therefore, when I am a Catholic, a priest, a bishop, and even a pope, I don’t act actively, of course, with respect and with charity. We cannot, as the apostle did, propose 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 false ecumenism 50 years in the church, but also started with the council.
