Christus Vincit Quotes

“they began to kill the innocents in their mother’s womb because these babies are hindering them from achieving what they believe is their self-realization through pleasures, a false freedom, and worldly success. Then they eliminate sick people; then the handicapped, for instance those with Down syndrome, and so on. This is the path of the new dictatorship, patterned after the Nazi dictatorship in Germany and the Communist dictatorship in the Soviet Union. This is a process which leads ultimately to an exasperated egoism, to a cruel and inhuman society.”

“There is the grievous fact of the loss of Eucharistic fragments because of Communion in the hand. No one can deny this. Fragments of the consecrated host fall to the floor and are subsequently crushed by feet. This is horrible! Our God is trampled on in our churches! No one can deny it. This is happening on a large scale. We cannot continue as if Jesus our God is not really present, as though the Eucharist is only bread. As I said before, the modern practice of Communion in the hand has nothing to do with the practice in the ancient Church.”

“European society is no longer a civilization. It has no civilization, because they have divorced themselves from natural law and from divine revelation. The current European so-called civilization represents ugliness, chaos, and cruelty.”

“with the rise of Freemasonry, Gnostic thinking entered in, and this is ultimately Satanic thinking, where man puts himself in the place of the Creator.”

“when religion has no place in politics, then politics has no measure and no orientation. Then politics and the State become a kind of god.”
― Athanasius Schneider, Christus Vincit: Christ's Triumph Over the Darkness of the Age

“How can you speak of civilization when you are perpetrating a mass genocide of innocent people in the wombs of their mothers, which is extremely cruel and whose extent has never existed in all of human history—killing innocent people, your own babies on a mass scale? For me, the existence of abortion in society is already an indication that there is no real civilization.”
― Athanasius Schneider, Christus Vincit: Christ's Triumph Over the Darkness of the Age

“Freemasonry’s goal is to demonstrate that, in the end, man is god, that man is the one who determines what is good and what is evil. Abortion, gender ideology, and the systematic and demagogic manipulation of the truth in the mass media, for example, correspond to the basic theoretical principles of Freemasonry, in so far as they are Gnostic.”

“we have arrived at a new pagan society, in some ways worse than pagan societies of the past. At least pagans in Roman and Greek society still accepted reality. But now our society has tried to change the evidence.”
― Athanasius Schneider, Christus Vincit: Christ's Triumph Over the Darkness of the Age

“Now we have reached a peak of secularism, of this complete independence of man, of this enormous anthropocentrism where everyone decides for himself what is true and what is good or evil. Such secularism brings us a horrible and cruel society. We are witnessing this—it is cruel. And what is the result? Egoism.”

“The ancient Roman liturgy for Good Friday included the following invitation to prayer: “Oremus et pro perfidis Judæis” (let us pray for the unfaithful or unbelieving Jews). The Church used this prayer from about the time of the third century until 1959.”

“Islamic “opportunity”—as volatile and self-destructive as it might be—is not lost on Freemasonry. And one can see the cunning deployment of Masonic efforts under the pretext of mercy and compassion, to emotionalize issues and implore us to accept refugees because Christ was a refugee, and on the grounds that the Church was always merciful to foreigners. This is propaganda to displace Christian Europe.”

“Pure technology is spiritually cold and therefore people are not happy, they are empty, they are continuously seeking pleasures to escape the inner void. To avoid the ugliness, the insanity, people are running after new pleasures, new technologies, and they become in their souls cold, egoistic, and cruel.”
― Athanasius Schneider, Christus Vincit: Christ's Triumph Over the Darkness of the Age

“this trajectory has led to gender ideology, in which man decides what nature is, instead of God the Word “through whom all things were made” (cf. Jn 1:3).”
― Athanasius Schneider, Christus Vincit: Christ's Triumph Over the Darkness of the Age

“To proclaim Christ without stressing the objective content of the immutable truths of divine revelation and the divine commandments ultimately signifies a new subjective religion of emotionalism, similar to many Protestant denominations.”

“It is better in life that God decides.”

“an official Catholic society and Catholic state cannot give to false religions the same rights that are due to the true Catholic religion. Otherwise the false religions would spread among the Catholic population and lead young and weak persons into a false religion.”

“There are two kinds of history: official history, lying history, that which they teach in colleges, history ‘ad usum delphini’; and secret history, in which are the true causes of events, shameful history.”

“in countries like Germany, where homeschooling is against the law. This is a dictatorship. Under Communism in the Soviet Union, education in the family was also forbidden, as it was under the Nazi regime. The prohibition against homeschooling is a dictatorial law.”

“They seize on what is in some way the most mysterious part of creation, human sexuality. It is a very mysterious and holy area, given by God for participating in the transmission of new life,”

“Modernism as the synthesis of all heresies and the herald of the end time.”

“In his inaugural encyclical E Supremi, St. Pius X remarked that so serious was the gathering storm of error at the beginning of the twentieth century that he would not be surprised to hear that the Antichrist was already on this earth.”

“Puede que algún día un Papa llegue a poner a la Iglesia militante bajo la protección de los santos ángeles y de san Miguel específicamente. Nos ayudaría mucho, ya que estamos en una batalla espiritual como nunca se había visto en la historia de la Iglesia, una batalla entre la verdad y la herejía, entre el naturalismo y la visión sobrenatural. Una batalla, en definitiva, entre los santos ángeles y los espíritus demoníacos de la mentira, de la soberbia y del odio contra Cristo, Dios encarnado.”

“«Comprendí que la Iglesia tenía un corazón, y que ese corazón estaba ardiendo de amor. Comprendí que sólo el amor podía hacer actuar a los miembros de la Iglesia; que si el amor llegaba a apagarse, los apóstoles ya no anunciarían el Evangelio y los mártires se negarían a derramar su sangre. Comprendí que el amor encerraba en sí todas las vocaciones, que el amor lo era todo, que el amor abarcaba todos los tiempos y lugares... En una palabra, ¡que el amor es eterno...! Entonces, al borde de mi alegría delirante, exclamé: ¡Jesús, amor mío..., al fin he encontrado mi vocación! ¡Mi vocación es el amor...! Sí, he encontrado mi puesto en la Iglesia, y ese puesto, Dios mío, eres Tú quien me lo ha dado... En el corazón de la Iglesia, mi Madre, yo seré el amor... Así lo seré todo... Así mi sueño se verá hecho realidad...»”

“Esto es verdad. Somos corpóreos, tenemos cuerpo. El sacerdote es solamente un canal, una voz, y tiene que comportarse como Juan el Bautista “debo desaparecer para que Cristo crezca” o “sólo soy un amigo del novio”. El sacerdote debe ser como Juan el Bautista, y no colocarse en el lugar de Cristo, el novio, la fuente de la liturgia.”

“El otro contraargumento es que Jesús dijo, «Tomad esto, todos vosotros». Pero esto es un error manifiesto, porque estas palabras no fueron dirigidas a los laicos, sino directamente solo a los Apóstoles. De otra manera, todos los fieles podrían celebrar Misa porque Jesús dijo, «Haced esto en conmemoración mía». El Concilio de Trento enseña que con las palabras «Haced esto en conmemoración mía», el Señor constituye a los Apóstoles en sacerdotes de la Nueva Alianza. Como estas palabras se refieren a los Apóstoles, lo mismo las palabras «Tomad y comed» se refieren principalmente”

“esta relación con el Gobierno chino, la Santa Sede no debe realizar concesiones que debiliten ni dañen la fe. La Santa Sede en ninguna circunstancia debe sacrificar a los obispos clandestinos. Creo que sacrificar a los obispos confesores de la Iglesia clandestina China pasará a la historia como una vergüenza y un crimen a los mártires en China, un crimen a los obispos y sacerdotes que han dado su vida por Cristo e indirectamente por la Santa Sede, por el Papa. El cardenal Joseph Zen ha afirmado que el secretario de Estado del Vaticano, Pietro Parolín, no entiende al pueblo chino22. Están dispuestos a sufrir por su fe, afirma el cardenal Zen, pero lo que más les duele es la traición de los suyos. Exactamente,”

“La crisis de la Iglesia en nuestros días obedece a una negligencia de la verdad y específicamente a una inversión en el orden en que se afirman la verdad y el amor. Hoy en día se propaga en la Iglesia un nuevo principio pastoral que afirma: el amor y la misericordia son los criterios más altos y la verdad se debe subordinar a ellos. De acuerdo con esta nueva teoría, si surge un conflicto entre el amor y la verdad, la verdad debe ser sacrificada. Esta es la inversión y la perversión en el sentido literal del término.”

“y que me ayuda. Escribió en cierta ocasión a un obispo non decet servire tempori, sed Domino (no es adecuado servir al tiempo, debemos servir al Señor) (Ep. Ad Dracontium). Esto quiere decir que no debemos servir aquellos que tienen un poder temporal en el mundo o en la Iglesia, sino que debemos servir al Señor.”

“La raíz más profunda del secularismo en Europa —que empezó a construir un mundo sin Dios, y a vivir como si Dios no existiese— es el antropocentrismo. El secularismo pretende excluir a Jesucristo de la vida pública. El secularismo está conectado con el relativismo porque cuando el hombre dice: «Yo determino lo que es verdad», entonces lo que puede ser verdad en esta generación, en la siguiente puede no serlo. Por consiguiente “la verdad” siempre está cambiando. Eso es el relativismo. El relativismo guarda una estrecha relación con el secularismo y el antropocentrismo. El relativismo es la negación de la realidad.”

“Looking back on your years as auxiliary bishop of Karaganda, in addition to building the cathedral, what were your main duties? And what was the most important lesson you learned during that time?”
