[Excerpt] 

In a recent interview, Bishop Athanasius Schneider said that some of the “ambiguous affirmations” in Amoris Laetitia are “causing a moral and disciplinary anarchy in the life of the Church.”

In an interview with Dr. Maike Hickson for OnePeterFive, Schneider defended Professor Josef Seifert for raising critical questions concerning the controversial papal document.

The theologian was recently fired from his university post by the Archbishop of Granada for doing so.

“The punitive measure against Professor Seifert ... is not only unjust,” said Schneider, “[it] represents ultimately an escape from truth, a refusal of an objective debate and of a dialogue, whilst at the same time the culture of dialogue is proclaimed as a major priority in the life of the Church of our days.”

The very basis of unity of the Church, said Schneider, is the truth — the truth of the Gospel. Unfortunately, today whoever dares to speak the truth “is classified as an enemy of unity” — as happened to Saint Paul.
