The Athanasius Schneider Interview, an excellent translation

I believe most everyone is familiar with Archbishop Schneider's recent interview.  We offer here a superior translation from the Catholicism.org website.  Having read two other versions I believe this one is perhaps the best currently available.

If I could add a note:

Some have been critical of Msgr Schneider over this interview for various reasons.  I cannot share that criticism for the very simple reason that given the delicate situation in Rome right now Schneider has shown himself to be not only wise and prudent but a friend to those who are terrified at what is happening in the Church.  If His Excellency "...could observe a sound theological, spiritual and human reality"   in his meetings with the SSPX surely this should give us reason to pause.  Instead of showering him with criticisms I think showering him with a few decades of the rosary now and then would be a better idea.
