Over at Catholic Monitor, Fred Martinez has cut through all the deception and lying of Bishop Schneider and Dr. Taylor Marshall in their recent YouTube Video, and has proposed to them 5 yes or no Questions, and asked them publicly to respond.
His article is entitled, Do Marshall and Schneider think they are greater theologians than Doctors of the Church, Sts. Robert Bellarmine and Francis de Sales?
This article follows upon Martinez’ rebuttal of their arguments in several articles:
- Why did Taylor Marshall Chicken Out in Questioning Bp. Schneider on the Bellarmine teaching on Heretical Popes Ceasing to be Pope?
- Is Bp. Schneider a “Flying Monkey” or another Type of Enabler?
- Why is Bp. Schneider spreading the Doubtful Propaganda of a possible Leftist British Operative?
- Schneider’s Opinion has next to Zero Merit when standing next to the Teaching of Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales
- Is Bishop Schneider a Pelagianist?
- Schneider’s Opinion vs. Cdl. Burke: ‘If a Pope would Formally Profess Heresy he would Cease, by that act, to be the Pope. It’s Automatic.”
- Doubtful Schneider vs. St. Bellarmine & Bp. Gracida: “A Doubtful Pope is no Pope”
- Bp. Schneider vs. Pope Innocent III, Trent & the Ancient Fathers
5 Questions for Bishop Schneider and Dr. Taylor Marshall
I urge all Catholics to confront these men on social media and in email and in person. Also share these questions with all who claim to find their false arguments to be convincing. The faith is in danger by the errors spread by these two men.
Fred Martinez writes:
To make it really easy for them it has been formatted so that they only have to answer: yes or no.
1. Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales said “The Pope… when he is explicitly a heretic… the Church must either deprive him or as some say declare him deprived of his Apostolic See.” Was St. Francis de Sales a Sedevacantist or a schismatic? Answer: yes or no.
2. “Universal Acceptance” theologian John of St. Thomas said “This man in particular lawfully elected and accepted by the Church is the supreme pontiff.” Was John of St. Thomas for saying “the supreme pontiff” must be BOTH “lawfully elected and accepted by the Church” a Sedevacantist or a schismatic? Answer: yes or no.
3. Do you think that a “supreme pontiff” if “universally accepted” is still Pope if, to quote papal validity expert Arnaldo Xavier de Silveira on “dubious election[s]”, that he is “a woman… a child… a demented person… a heretic… a apostate… [which] would [thus] be invalid[ed] by divine law”? Answer: yes or no.
4. Renowned Catholic historian Warren Carroll agreed with Bishop René Gracida on the determining factor for discerning a valid conclave for a valid papal election besides divine law. Carroll pronounced:
“But each Pope, having unlimited sovereign power as head of the Church, can prescribe any method for the election of his successor(s) that he chooses… A papal claimant not following these methods is also an Antipope.”
Are renowned historian Carroll and Bishop Gracida for saying this Sedevacantists or schismatics? Answer: yes or no.
5. Is Bishop Gracida really a Sedevacantist and schismatic for convincingly demonstrating that there is valid evidence that Pope John Paul II’s conclave constitution “Universi Dominici Gregis” which “prescribe[d].. [the] method for the election of his successor(s)” was violated and must be investigated by Cardinals? Answer: yes or no.
Answer or show you are a fraud!
Fred Martinez is an excellent master of rhetoric. He knows how to posit a question, the answer to which will expose the one to whom it is addressed either as a liar or force him to admit that he was lying and take back his lie. It’s inescapable debating style.
Consequently, short of an act of public repentance, I think that neither the Bishop nor the Doctor will respond to Fred’s 5 Questions. And that means, that neither should you follow the Bishop or Doctor anymore, because by their silence they show themselves to be dishonest liars. For an honest liar should admit at least in public that he is lying.

Excellent little Dubia! Should be a no-brainer for Schneider and Marshall right? (good luck)
As of now, it is clear that the schismatics are Schneider, Marshall and everyone who considers Bergoglio to be the true pope against the word of the greatest and holy defenders of the Papacy.
We must have no part with them, but we MUST confront them until they answer the hard questions, or refute, or admit that they are WRONG and in schism with the Holy Father Benedict XVI. Until now, we can’t get any straight answers from these guys and they continue throwing theology at everyone to see what sticks for the sake of their own popularity and obsessive personality cults.
We have been waiting 1262 days for the answers to the Dubia. I wonder how long it will take for the answers to Fred Martinez’s questions?
Kudos to Mr. Martinez.
What really disturbed me the most, to the point of near nausea, listening to Marshal and his friend was how they could laugh and giggle and joke about the horrors of Francis. They seemed so infatuated with manifesting their intellectual brilliance they were total blind to the seriousness of this crisis. TOTALLY DISGUSTING.
The Bishop Schneider essay is a good thing because NOW, we know , he is at least a coward and a lier.
I remember his supposed objection to Bergoglio regarding Muslims and that all religions were valid….it was so smooth…
I was astonished when a few days ago remarked that “Amazonia “ has some encouraging good signs.
I suspect he is playing a game that is similar to Archibishop Ganswein’s (It is very important to “remember” what Ganswein has done !, recently , and a lot of time before ( VIgano has done an invaluable service to the Church)
Enough with Schneider , not the same with Cardinal Burke.
I still have some hope with him.
Disgusting is a strong word…worse is coward, liar, schismatic!
Who are you people? You should be ashamed of yourselves. Dr.Marshall and Bishop Schneider may be wrong in their arguments, but, they are fellow Catholics and as such are entitled to respect.
They have as much human dignity as you and I, and, Francis.
Your childish and cringe worthy diatribe is unhelpful in this time of serious division in our Church.
Surely, all of us who are concerned over the direction (and lack of it) of “Pope” Francis need to be united, sober and prayerful if we expect to effect some action from inside or outside the Church that will solve the dilemma.
Did not Bishop Schneider accurately set out such “dilemma”?
1. Benedict XVI shows no signs of wanting his job back, and, has not denounced Francis.
2. Francis may be a heretic in the minds of many in the Church, but, he has not pronounced anything heretical ex cathedra, and, he is firmly in control of the Vatican machine.
3. The College of Bishops, if such even has courageous and honest leadership, must convene and agree to oust Francis…..no sign yet of that being anywhere near happening.
4. Divine Intervention is probably our best chance, or, have you all lost your faith.
Jim,
You accuse us of not having manners, charity and faith. Those are heavy charges. But I do not see one word in your comment about the mortal sins of scandal, pride and dissent in Taylor and Schneider for denying the Catholic teaching on heresy’s effect in the loss of every ecclesiastical office, or their calumny in calling Catholics who want to imitate the saints Pelaggians. So your comment does not convince me, here, that you are the least bit sincere. Also, if you think it is wrong to point out and denounce the errors against Church teaching, then I beg to submit you would have to condemn nearly every Saint in the history of the Church. What I cannot understand is why you are so upset to defend 2 men, but ignore those tends of thousands of Saints whom you do not care your 2 men have offended. Are you catholi? Are you in communion with the Saints?
