Bishop Schneider will be in Lincoln, Nebraska on October 19 with the pro-life initiative One Heart One Mind, where he will lead a retreat and a holy hour.
LINCOLN, Nebraska (LifeSiteNews) – The resolutely pro-life Bishop Athanasius Schneider, well known for his prominent defense of Catholic Tradition, is visiting Lincoln, Nebraska to lead a pro-life retreat and holy hour in reparation for the use of aborted babies in medical research and in the development of medicines and consumer products.
Tuesday October 19, will see the auxiliary bishop of Astana, Kazahkstan, lead a day of prayer in Nebraska, sponsored by the pro-life “One Heart One Mind” initiative.
A full day retreat will be held at the Our Lady of Good Counsel Retreat House in Waverly, with local pro-life group One Heart One Mind which was formed in response to Bishop Schneider’s call for a “new pro-life movement.”
Schneider’s call to action came in the wake of revelations about how researchers procure cell lines used in the development of numerous vaccines — including a number of COVID vaccines — from babies who were aborted alive in order to have usable tissue.
One Heart One Mind responded to the bishop’s desire for a new pro-life movement, by declaring that they hold by the following principles:
The group’s mission is thus: “To Pray. To Educate. To Act. We seek to support and equip ourselves and other believers to respond to God’s call to faithfully witness against the culture of death and to proclaim the sanctity of life.”
The in-person retreat is currently full, but free live streaming is available by registering at goodcounselretreat.org.
“Like his fourth-century patron, St. Athanasius, Bishop Schneider fearlessly speaks,” said Father Gary Coulter, director of Our Lady of Good Counsel retreat house. “Whether defending the unborn or fighting for religious liberty, he preaches the word ‘in season and out of season’.”
“His insights into the challenges facing Christ’s flock today provide clarity and hope for Catholics,” added Fr. Coulter.
Bishop Schneider is also set to preach a holy hour that same day, starting at 7 p.m. in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s St. Thomas Aquinas Newman Center in Lincoln, part of the regular holy hour run by One Heart One Mind. The holy hour will also be live-streamed for online watching.
This is to be followed by a reception and opportunity to meet the bishop, and copies of his book “Christus Vincit,” will be available for sale.
“The voice of the unborn children’s blood is crying to God from the abortion-tainted vaccines, from the abortion-tainted medicines,” Bishop Schneider has previously said when speaking of the current COVID injections. “This voice is crying all over the world, and we have to awaken.”
“No one who is really deeply concerned about the defense of life and the moral law can be silent or can be quiet and can resign to this situation.”
“So, we have to protest against this and start a new movement in pharmaceutics, in medicine, with no connection, not the remotest, to these crimes,” the Bishop added in making his call for a new pro-life movement.

More than a retreat, he needs to be addressing those who vote Democrat. That is the problem. Evil is as evil does.
I wonder how many Catholics got the vaccine because it was endorsed by the Pope? Or at least, were less resistant to it.
You have been had folks. You have been lied to. Next question: What else are “they” lying about?
Raising hand in class: Everything teacher! Everything.
Thanks for the information! Glad to hear it! All of the clergy in the US need to take a stand and inform citizens against voting for those who are pro-abort. I hear it all the time. . .The “my great grandma and grandpa were lifelong democrats” mantra that goes through the generations . . .it’s no longer an excuse. Babies are being murdered.
The Pope has no authority or expertise in medical matters; Catholic teaching is clear that health decisions are a matter of an individuals conscience formed by reason, Divine Revelation, and the constant teaching of the Church.
Those who are following the Pope's misguided and inappropriate lead on this are as ignorant of their Catholic Faith as he is. Shame on them for not being better informed and shame on the Church for it's weak preaching and catechesis.
Yes. Of course. I wonder if the Catholic Leadership are feeling a little betrayed right now. BTW, you only get one chance to claim innocence.
The old expression — fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.
I’d like an “official” statement from the Pope. Seems like it is due.
May God bless and prosper Bishop Schneider in his work, in his mission, and in his new prolife movement!
“I wonder how many Catholics got the vaccine because it was endorsed by the Pope”
Extrapolating out from what I hear: hundreds of millions.
And if he had taken a stance against it, the vaccine rollout would be similar to New Coke right about now.
I’m glad to hear that. I’ve encountered too many of the lukewarm, do nothing, say nothing preachers . . .who probably weren’t called to the ministry in the first place.
'But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and SORCERERS, and idolaters, and ALL LIARS, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.'
Waiting for the Pope to comment... but not waiting too long.
