His Excellency shared his thoughts about Fratelli Tutti with The Remnant Newspaper.

Otober 14, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Bishop Athanasius Schneider has expressed grief over Pope Francis’ latest encyclical Fratelli Tutti, noting that it “lacks a clearly supernatural horizon,” misrepresents St. Francis, and furthers the theological confusion Pope Francis created with his Abu Dhabi statement.

The pope is a Marxist. That’s atheistic materialism. Incompatible with Christianity. He needs to read Divini Redemptoris.

Well, ya know.... 1800 years is a good run. Maybe time to worship the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob?

You’re right....according to the flawed men that wrote the New Testament.

If Jesus is G-d (G-d forbid,) try G-d.
