VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Bishop Athanasius Schneider has urged Catholics to pray for Pope Francis that he might “retract” certain documents and statements which have “undermined the clarity” of the faith.

With Pope Francis having recently returned to the Vatican on Sunday after spending 38 days in the Gemelli hospital for bilateral pneumonia, many of his close supporters have welcomed what they say will be a new stage of his pontificate.

ROME – Italian Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican’s Secretary of State, has said Pope Francis continues to rest after his return from the hospital, and is not receiving anyone or holding meetings or audiences of any kind.

He also said that no definitive plans for Holy Week and Easter have yet been decided, but expects that cardinals could be tapped to preside over liturgical celebrations in the pope’s place.

Speaking to journalists on the margins of a recent event in Sacrofano, Parolin said that after his March 23 return from Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, the pope “rests, he doesn’t see anyone, and, to my knowledge, he does not have audiences and he does not receive people.” 

“What is important is that he finds time to recover, little by little,” Parolin said. Pope Francis spent 38 days in the hospital, after being admitted Feb. 14 for treatment of a complex respiratory infection and double pneumonia.

The doctor leading his medical team at Gemelli Hospital, surgeon Sergio Alfieri, in a recent interview with an Italian newspaper called the pope’s recovery “miraculous,” saying the pontiff had two close brushes with death during his hospital stay and credited his recovery in part to prayer.

Bishop Schneider Says Next Pope Must Reaffirm Doctrine on Marriage, Sexuality, Male Clergy

March 20, 2025 

Tags Conclave from LifeSite News by Andreas Wailzer

Bishop Athanasius Schneider has said that the next pope must clarify Church doctrine on marriage, sexuality, and the solely male priesthood to combat confusion on these dogmatic issues within the Church.

In an interview conducted in German with LifeSiteNews journalist Andreas Wailzer, Bishop Schneider explained what he believes are the main issues the next pope should address.

The bishop from Kazakhstan said that the pope’s main task is “to strengthen the brethren in the faith.”

“This is a divine mandate, one of the first tasks of a pope, and he must carry it out with clarity, not ambiguity,” he stated, stressing that the pope must unambiguously declare the doctrine in “those aspects that have caused the most confusion in recent decades and above all in our time.”

One of these key issues is “the relativism of faith,” i.e., “that supposedly dogmas and faith evolve according to the scheme of Hegel, i.e., evolutionism, which is completely against the Spirit of Christ and the Gospel and the 2000-year tradition of the Church.”

Venerable Fulton Sheen on the Anti-Christ

 

“The antichrist will come disguised as the Great Humanitarian. He will talk peace, prosperity and plenty not as means to lead us to God, but as ends in themselves…

He will write books on the new idea of God to suit the way people live; induce faith in astrology so as to make not the will but the stars responsible for sins. He will explain guilt away psychologically as inhibited eroticism, make men shrink in shame if their fellowmen say they are not broadminded and liberal. He will be so broadminded as to identify tolerance with indifference, right with wrong, truth and error. He will spread the lie that men will never be better until they make society better and thus have selfishness to provide fuel for the next revolution. He will foster science but only to have armament makers use one marvel of science to destroy another. He will foster more divorces under the disguise that another partner is ‘vital’. He will increase love for love and decrease love for person. He will invoke religion to destroy religion. He will even speak of Christ and say that he was the greatest man who ever lived. His mission he will say will be to liberate men from the servitudes of superstition and Fascism, which he will never define.”
