Schneider: “We Are Returning To Catacomb Masses"
This is self-evident in the Novus Ordo Eucharist, especially through Eucharists facing the people which turn the priest into a "showman," Schneider explained. He told about a Kazakh lady, a Protestant from Muslim background who attended a Mass in Schneider’s chapel. Afterwards, she said that the atmosphere was “centred to God”. Later, she attended a Eucharist and said innocently and without irony that it was “a performance of bad quality.”
Anthropocentrism is visible already in Vatican II, Schneider says, but it culminates in Francis' pontificate as can be seen from climate change, Pachamama etc.
Regarding Vatican visitations at contemplative monasteries, Schneider noticed that “the Holy See is destroying the contemplative life,” asking the sisters "to resist.” He diagnoses a “practical destruction of the cloistered life” but this is against the Church's common good, “The sisters cannot obey such orders even if they come from Rome.”
Francis' prohibiting the Mass is for Schneider an "abuse of power" and is harming the spiritual good of the Church. “When a pope or a bishop is forbidding the Roman Mass, they are acting against the good of the Church but the Church is larger than a single pope,” he said. Therefore priests must not obey these orders. Schneider suggests celebrating in private homes, “We are returning to a kind of catacomb Masses.”
He predicts that the restrictions on the Mass are short living and will collapse.
