Mgr Schneider appelle Rome à reconnaître les nouveaux évêques de la FSSPX

In brief

Bishop Athanasius Schneider is calling on Rome to recognize the new bishops of the SSPX. In an interview with journalist Niwa Limbu for AdVaticanum on September 2, 2026, Schneider explained his continued support for the group despite sanctions following episcopal consecrations on July 1.

Schneider addressed requirements placed on the SSPX, liturgical reforms, and ambiguities within Vatican II. He also responded to a recent catechesis by Leo XIV, which he stated does not correspond to reality or history.
