Pope Francis wrapped up a trip to Kazakhstan on Thursday as one of his most outspoken critics openly questioned the value of mega faith meetings such as the one the pontiff attended, calling them 'a supermarket of religions' that diminished the status of the Catholic Church.
Pope Francis meets with bishops, priests, deacons, consecrated persons, seminarians and pastoral workers in Our Lady Of Perpetual Help Cathedral in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan September 15, 2022.
While praising the congress' ability to "promote mutual respect in the world," Schneider, 61, said he believed it risked the "danger" of putting Catholicism on the same plane as other religions. They also say Catholics should actively proselytise to convert others to Catholicism and oppose Francis' insistence that potential converts should be drawn to the faith by nothing more than the example of Christians.
"We are not employees of the pope, the bishops, we are brothers. When in good conscience I feel that something is not correct or ambiguous I have to say it to him, with respect, fraternally," Schneider said.
