The current Church crisis is worse than the 4th century Arian crisis because it touches all levels of the Church’s life, Bishop Athanasius Schneider told TaylorMarshall.com (Video below).
Arianism was a dispute over Christ's Divinity while today's crisis concerns most Church teachings, the liturgy, pastoral life, the papacy, the clergy, and all aspects of the Christian Faith.
Even the very first commandment is denied by the claim that "all religions are equal". Schneider observes that "we are destroying the revelation itself” and thus “becoming not only non-Christians but to some extent pagans.” He calls this "neopaganism inside the Church."
Schneider notices that "the policy of the Vatican” is focussed on a simple humanistic education, on providing clean water, taking care of trees and rivers etc., “This is very, very poor and very sad.”
Stressing that life is very short and the eternal wellbeing is at stake, Schneider recommends developing a missionary zeal stressing that evangelisation doesn't discriminate against Jews, because Christ and the apostles first preached the Gospel to them, “Otherwise they will not be saved and the law of Moses will not help them.”

The barbarians that finished off Rome were Arian Christians, just saying.
Bishop Schneider is 100% correct! Pope Francis is more of a politician than a man of God. He is more concerned with political things than God’s work. The world should ignore what his concerns are and hang with the church’s teachings where they collide. Follow the faith and ignore the diversions.
