“A Scandal”: Bishop Schneider on the Vatican’s Treatment of Traditional Catholics

Bishop Athanasius Schneider described the Vatican's treatment of traditional Catholic pilgrims as a scandal following their denied entry to St. Peter’s Basilica during a Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage to Rome.

In an interview with Michael J. Matt, Schneider questioned how the exclusion of these pilgrims aligns with the Vatican's stated goals of synodality, inclusion, and unity. The bishop spoke shortly after the pilgrims were prevented from entering the basilica.
