Bishop Athanasius Schneider has an interesting family history. His forebears were Black Sea Germans, invited by Catherine the Great to that part of the Russian Empire. However, during the Communist era, the Black Sea Germans were persecuted. Schneider's parents were sent away to a gulag (forced labour camp); years later they finally returned to West Germany - the logical place to resettle given their German ethnicity.
He was interviewed this week on a variety of issues and this is what he had to say about immigration:
CWR: Having moved around so extensively as a child – you were born in Kyrgyzstan, then moved to Estonia, then Germany, and joined your order in Austria – what are your thoughts on the whole idea of immigration, whether in Europe or the United States, or in general?
Bishop Schneider: We have to distinguish between different types of immigrations. I was a migrant, with my family, because we were persecuted and deported. When people are really persecuted, you need to help them. But as for the phenomenon of the European so-called immigration, it is clear and evident by what we can observe, that this is an orchestrated action of the international powerful political organizations. It is the aim, the clear aim, to take away from Europe its Christian and its national identity. It is meant to dilute the Christian and the national character of Europe. The majority of the so-called migrants are Muslims, so there is going on also an Islamisation of Europe.
Of course, these people are not guilty, but they are used as means by powerful organizations. This we cannot accept. We have to state that it is not just to destroy the Christian and national identity of Europe by means of this artificial immigration. International political powers stimulated and fostered the war in Syria in order to have some occasions to start the great immigration process. The immigration from Africa via the Mediterranean Sea is as well artificially created – they put the people in ships and boats, and create then situations of shipwrecking. It’s already very evident. We cannot as a Church be instrumentalized in the process of the destruction of the Christian and national identity of Europe.
It is refreshing that the Bishop takes seriously the importance of preserving the character and identity of Europe and that he recognises that immigration is being used as a political tool by powerful elites.
In another interview Bishop Schneider added the following:
Bishop Athanasius Schneider of Kazakhstan, 57, told an interviewer from Milan’s Il Giornale last week that “the phenomenon of so-called “immigration” represents an orchestrated and long-prepared plan by international powers to radically change the Christian and national identities of the European peoples.”
The Church, he said, was being exploited.
“These powers use the Church's enormous moral potential and her structures to more effectively achieve their anti-Christian and anti-European goal,” he stated.
“To this end they are abusing the true concept of humanism and even the Christian commandment of charity. "
Asked to comment on Italy’s new and very outspokenly Euro-skeptic Minister of the Interior, Matteo Salvini, the bishop said that he did not know Italy’s political situation well, but that he applauded any European government’s attempt to emphasize their nation’s sovereignty and “historical, cultural, and Christian identity” against “a kind of new Soviet Union” with “an unmistakably Masonic ideology”: the European Union.

Isn't it rather: "undermining identity is a plan for mass migration." The sole purpose of the multiculturalism/diversity ideology is to undermine natural in-group preferences and nativism which stands opposed to the harmful effects of mass immigration.
ReplyDeleteIt's sort of a "which came first" question.
DeleteThere is nothing new under the sun. During the time of the British Empire, the British used mass movement of aliens to subvert native opposition to their rule. The movement of Indian Hindu Tamils to Buddhist Sri Lanka, Indian Muslims into Buddhist Burma and numerous other examples were all done under the pretext of providing "cheap labour" but with the covert agenda of undermining the native majority and thence their ability to oppose British colonial rule. The seering wounds remain today, at times boiling over into armed conflict.
ReplyDeleteThroughout history, when outsiders have attempted to take over homogenous countries, they have always used the infiltration of minorities to subvert the majority and have engineered conflicts between groups to advance their agendas. The pretexts for mass movement vary - "refugees", "cheap labour" etc - but the covert agenda is subversion. It is important to understand that, because if the aliens are not expelled, the inevitable conflicts will continue to brew for centuries and threaten to destroy the host countries.
The agenda is White Genocide. To destroy a racial group and the properties that make them what they are.
ReplyDeleteThey can't to this from 'culture'. They need to surround them to undermine them. This is pure evil and its needs to be called out:
Some basic truths: Access to White people is not a human right

1. White people exist.
2. White people have the RIGHT to exist.
3. White people have the RIGHT to exist AS White people in White Communities and Nations.
I would add:
ReplyDeleteYOu don't make pictures like this without clear conscious and malevolent intent. And there are thousands of examples like this everywhere.

You'd never hear comments like that from a western European Catholic bishop.
ReplyDeleteMark,
ReplyDeleteInteresting logic your government is using, some areas apparently haven't been "culturally enriched" enough.
