************

Bishop Schneider is an absolute defender of the traditional and immemorial practice of receiving Holy Communion kneeling and on the tongue – so much so that his book Dominus est deals exclusively with this theme. Dominus est was published in Italian, and has since been translated into English, German, Estonian, Lithuanian, Polish, Hungarian and Chinese. (“The awareness of the greatness of the Eucharistic mystery is demonstrated in a special way by the manner in which the Body of the Lord is distributed and received.”).

 

Bishop Schneider has also been an unconditional defender of the permanent and infallible teaching of the Church on the definition and composition of the family. Moreover, he has called for a clarification on Amoris Laetitia in order to avoid confusion and abusive interpretations that would lead to “a permanent, deliberate and free violation of God’s sixth Commandment and of the sacredness and indissolubility of a true and valid marriage.”
