Bishop Schneider had described the ecumenical Congress as a ‘supermarket of religions’ which could undermine the primacy of the Catholic faith.
NUR-SULTAN, Kazakhstan (LifeSiteNews) – Pope Francis has appeared to reject criticism by Bishop Athanasius Schneider about the ecumenical Congress the pontiff recently attended in Kazakhstan, saying the meeting was a way to “honor” the Catholic faith.
The Pope made his comments while on the return flight from Kazakhstan to Rome, having been in the country for three days to attend the 7th Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions.
At the start of his final day in the country, the Pontiff met with Kazakhstan’s clergy at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, the mother-church of the Archdiocese of Astana, of which Bishop Schneider is an auxiliary. The bishop has often warned about Pope Francis’ teachings, particularly regarding their vague relation to, and deviance from, the Catholic faith.
Prior to welcoming the Pope at the cathedral, Bishop Schneider spoke about the inter-religious Congress to the assembled media outside.
He noted first that “the congress as such has a good aim to promote mutual respect and understanding in the world today.” Yet he added how “it has also a danger because it could give the impression of a ‘supermarket of religions,’ and this is not correct because there is only one true religion, which is the Catholic Church, founded by God himself.”
The bishop added that Francis’ strong support for the Congress could suggest that Catholicism is on a par with other religions.
“This is not correct because there is only one true religion, which is the Catholic Church, founded by God himself, but commanded to all man, to all religions, to believe and accept his son Jesus Christ, the only Savior,” he said.

Did he forget the First Commandment?
Next up, the Pope endorses polytheism!
He’s going to fracture the Catholic Church if not destroy it altogether.
Same way a John “honors” a prostitue.
Any fellow Catholics who question why I’ve stopped practicing need only look as far as this impostor of a pope to see my reason. Faith is deep, but if the head of our church continuously spouts nonsense completely against every teaching ever espoused, it should be no wonder why the pews are empty on Sunday. The Lord will have his say in the end.
Can’t wait for Armageddon were everyone fights over who’s God is better.
Atheists will be the innocent bystanders who will get it from all sides!
He’s working on it. He is bringing down the church one stone at a time.
I just hope that the next Consistory chooses a Catholic but with Francis having loaded up the Cardinalate with like minded candidates . . . . .
