![]() ![]() Schneider brought up his experience in Russia, where he was born in the time of the Soviet Union. Schneider went to say that “dialogue seems to be accepted only if you think like everyone else – that is practically like a regime.” “We live in a climate of threats and of denial of dialogue towards a specific group.” According to LifeSiteNews: “The reaction to the dubia is a proof of the climate in which we actually live in the Church right now,” Bishop Schneider said. ![]() He himself recently described the atmosphere in Rome as being comparable to that in the former Soviet Union. There is, for example, the witness of Bishop Athanasius Schneider himself who grew up under the terror of Soviet Communism. Just as in earlier Communist times, those who oppose the regime of subversive or coercive novelties are called “right-wing” and “being backwards.”Īll these new developments, to include the new atmosphere in Rome, remind some of the current major Catholic witnesses of their own prior experience in Communist Russia. Those who at all disagree with the new line of thought are being intimidated (or removed from office, as was Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke). Not the substance matters, but whether you are in line with the pope’s own methods and procedures and ambiguous proposals. The recent intense responses against the Four Cardinals’ dubia – to include threats and insults thrown at them, instead of properly responding to the substance of their fundamental questions – is another hint of the increasingly suffocating ideological atmosphere in Rome. Some individuals who work within the Vatican are advising their contacts on the outside not to share sensitive information via email or their Vatican-issued cell phones. ![]() Certain sources I’ve spoken with have a fear that communications with Vatican officials are being monitored some have even reported suspicious anomalies in their telephone conversations in which, after a dropped call, the audio of the last moments of their conversation has played over and over again on a loop, as though they are hearing a recording. Steve Skojec, one of them, reported on the atmosphere of fear in the Vatican: “I have heard reports that the Vatican is like an occupied state. ![]() There have come to us now several witnesses who speak of an atmosphere of fear and suppression of free speech in Catholic Rome. Such a consecration, moreover, was prophesied to attain Russia’s own fuller conversion to the Catholic Faith and, thus, to the genuine incarnational life and culture of the Faith.įor some months now, a certain expression has recurrently come back to me in my reflections: “The errors of Russia have reached Rome!” Let me attempt to explain why this insight may be so. One hundred years ago, Our Lady of Fatima mysteriously warned us of the danger that the then-unspecified “errors of Russia” would somehow come to spread throughout the whole world if Russia would not first be adequately and solemnly consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Since that time, new developments happened, like the dismissal of Cardinal Muller and the death of two of the dubia signatories, Cardinals Meissner and Caffara, but it is the same spirit that is prevailing in Rome.
