This is in response to the defamation of Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò by Auxiliary Bishop Schneider of Kazakhstan. During an interview with the Confraternity of Our Lady of Fatima on 10 March, Auxiliary Bishop Schneider was asked an absurd question: “Is Archbishop Viganò in schism?” Schneider gave an even more absurd answer: “Unfortunately it is true.”
On the contrary, thank God, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò is in the true Catholic Church and has never separated himself from the orthodox doctrine held by all legitimate Popes throughout history. He stands firm and defends this teaching of Christ and Tradition against the sodomite pseudo-gospel proclaimed by the pseudo-pope Bergoglio. Jorge Mario Bergoglio has excluded himself from the Catholic Church and, according to Galatians 1:8-9, has brought upon himself the anathema of God – excommunication and curse for preaching another – sodomite – anti-gospel.
This position of Scripture towards a heretical pope was clearly expressed by the Fathers of the Church such as St Cyprian, St Augustine, St Jerome, as well as by the Doctors of the Church St Alphonsus Liguori, St Francis de Sales, and Cardinal St Robert Bellarmine, who states: “The Pope who is manifestly a heretic ceases by himself to be Pope and head, in the same way as he ceases to be a Christian and a member of the body of the Church.”
Anyone who is inwardly in union with Bergoglio’s anti-gospel, represented by the heretical declaration Fiducia supplicans, thereby publicly renounces Jesus Christ, and unless he repents, he will be condemned at the hour of death. This clearly follows from the very essence of Christ’s teaching and from the entire Church’s tradition. Auxiliary Bishop Schneider, however, notoriously boycotts this fact.
Auxiliary Bishop Schneider also said in the video that “Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò’s approach to the Church’s crisis is not the true way”, because “he rejects the authority of the valid Pope” which is “accepted by the entire Church and all the cardinals”, and it is, Schneider believes, “a very grievous act which we cannot accept”.
On the contrary, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò’s approach to the Church’s crisis is the true way, precisely because he rejects the authority of the invalid Pope. Bergoglio has usurped the highest office of the Church and abused papal authority to the maximum. It is a very grievous crime which cannot be accepted by any Catholic who wants to preserve orthodox doctrine and be saved. The manipulative statement saying that the abused authority is accepted by the entire Church and all the cardinals does not change the fact that the pseudo Pope has excluded himself from the Church, along with all those who are inwardly in union with him. They too are subject to anathema for the sodomite anti-gospel according to Gal 1:8-9.
Carlo Maria Viganò’s heroic example of fidelity to Christ and His teachings is one that all true Catholics must follow.
Let us point out that Schneider repeatedly demonstrates his ignorance or wilful denial of Catholic teaching by ignoring the fact that a manifest heretic cannot be a valid Pope.
Auxiliary Bishop Schneider added that Archbishop Viganò cannot be compared to Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre: “Archbishop Lefebvre criticised the errors of Vatican II, the New Mass and bad examples of the hierarchy, but he never used disrespectful language regarding the person of the Pope himself.”
Archbishop Viganò clearly calls the invalid Pope a usurper of the papal office. This is not disrespectful language, but a fact. As for Archbishop Lefebvre, if he were alive at this time, he would act exactly as Archbishop Viganò does.
Quoting Schneider regarding Abp Viganò: “... seems to be driven by anger and lacks a supernatural perspective, which hinders true renewal.”
Schneider has shown that he considers it a supernatural perspective to believe that a heretic who has publicly renounced Christ, consecrated himself to Satan, enthroned the Pachamama demon, and proclaims a sodomite anti-gospel is the true Pope. He does not mind that he thereby contradicts the very essence of Holy Scripture and Tradition. This is not a supernatural perspective, but Schneider’s demagogy, which in no way leads to the renewal of the Church, but to its self-destruction.
Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò loves Christ and the Church. He sees clearly that souls are being openly deceived and led to destruction by the abused supreme authority in the Church. For this reason, he has a great pain in his heart, connected with the holy anger that all the prophets had. The Lord Jesus Himself felt this anger when He took a whip to drive out those who profaned the temple of God, or when He called the Church hierarchy of His day hypocrites, whitewashed tombs and a brood of vipers.
Quoting Schneider: “The Pope is currently promoting ambiguity and some errors.”
Schneider describes Bergoglio’s greatest heresies as mere ambiguity, and the destruction of the very roots of the Church and his programmed suicidal synodal LGBTQ path as mere errors.
In this context, we present a quote from Archbishop Viganò from January 2025:
“On the occasion of a conference at the Angelicum in Rome in 2018, Bishop Schneider, who was sitting next to me in the first row, placed in my hands a letter signed by the representative of the Secretariat of State, Archbishop Peña Parra, in which he was peremptorily ordered not to leave the territory of the diocese of Astana, of which he is still auxiliary bishop. And he told me: ‘Look what they did to me!’
What could have caused Bergoglio to revoke that order, so that for years he (Schneider) could travel anywhere? Perhaps the fact that Schneider, despite his muted criticism, recognises Bergoglio as Pope and as such goes to pay his respects at the Vatican?”
