He is a priest unafraid to be open about his autism and who calls us to welcome other autistic folk in the Church. Do check out his videos here.
In addition, a perusal of his Twitter feed reveals a perfectly orthodox priest with entirely orthodox views of normal Catholic things like the Eucharist. He notes stuff like Communism is Bad and so forth.
But once, in 2017, he made the mistake (for the Christianist Catholic Freak Show) of saying that you cannot be a Catholic and support Richard Spencer, an actual honest-to-God Nazi.
Being post-Christian, the alt-right is becoming anti-human-rights. You can’t be Christian & follow @RichardBSpencer. https://t.co/2fJiBcN9Te

Guess which tweet out of his hundreds of ordinary tweets has filled up with Nazi and racist Reactionary freaks shrieking at and about him?
We get lectures to him on the need to welcome impenitent Nazis as part of the Church’s rich and colorful pageant:
I wish I could do something more than pray to get Priests to take the alt-right seriously, rather than treating them like tax collectors.

We get “Being a Catholic makes being a Nazi AOK” defenses of Nazis:
Actually, we should be, because the numerous converts will be found in the alt-right if we can get over the snob factor.
— Catherine Alexander (@CatherineAle2) April 1, 2017
We get the Whataboutist and “But abortion!” defenses of a Nazi:
In many liberal democracies abortion is legal, you can’t be Christian & follow liberal democracy
— Jonny Red (@Psychoticarts) April 2, 2017
We get the pedantic BS of a guy who just wants to hate gays and so defends a Nazi:
Fr., “rights” in a limited Burkean (and Catholic) sense are good but the standard “human rights” meme is fake and gay.
— Legitimist LARPer (@Benevolentrwds) April 3, 2017
We get “Not all Nazis are the same, you know” defenses of Nazis:
The “alt-right” isn’t a homogenous block.
— Pétrus (@MenAreLikeWine1) April 2, 2017
We get the “Nazis are the *real* Christians” defense:
Turn your clerical collar back in. You don’t know what a Christian is then.
— Gelato for Peace (@Prinkingdroblem) April 4, 2017
We get the “Ain’t nobody gonna tell me I have to love the least of these” defense of Nazis:
Just more propaganda telling us we have to like illegals and refugees or be labeled a bad person. Yawn

There’s the “Racist Pride is actually the Greatest Virtue” defense of Nazis:
I’m a proud Catholic and I totally agree with @RichardBSpencer. There’s nothing wrong with defending your identity
— Fernán de Santiago (@fdesantiago_) April 2, 2017
There’s the “Actually Christianity is a white fertility cult” defense of Nazis:
Listen to @GMWhiteAmerica podcast. Go to https://t.co/yTuC33WKDa. Explicitly Christian, pro-life, pro-family, and positive to boot.
— GMWhiteAmerica (@GMWhiteAmerica) April 3, 2017
There’s the “If you aren’t a Nazi you are a liberal” defense of Nazis:
Early/Medieval Christians wouldnt understand postmodern Christianity. It has become merely theistic Liberalism. Its trajectory is to nullity
— Jim from the Mountains (@FaustianLimits) April 2, 2017
There’s the “I read Taylor Marshall’s book INFILTRATION and I understand the code language he is using” defense of Nazis:
Whites are God’s chosen people. Jews have infiltrated Christianity and twisted it’s message.
— Pete (@Pete64166142) April 2, 2017
There’s the “I’ll do what I want!” defense of Nazis:
Article is good; more nuanced than this.
I follow @RichardBSpencer
Please explain:
A. Why I’m not christian
B. How you get to decide— tt (@pthefigg) April 3, 2017
There’s the “I’m just loving my family” defense of Nazis:
You can’t be a Christian and not love your family.
— Quantrill’s Revenge (@BillyQuantrill) April 3, 2017
There’s the “You are not cool to hurt my feels” defense of Nazis:
Oh Father, please!
— Michael LeRoy (@michaelrleroy) April 4, 2017
There’s the “How dare you say that denial of the clear teaching of the Church in favor of Nazism is mortal sin?” defense of Nazis:
How dare you declare whom is saved by the Lord Jesus Christ and who are his followers! Saint Peter has the book, not you!
— Rising_Fun�+�� (@Rising_Fun) April 2, 2017
There the “You are a tool of Jewish globalists and I am the real victim” defense of Nazis:
‘Humanitarian’ Christianity is a prime tool the globalists use to smash white nation states into the ground. It is violence.
— D.A.M. Van Bok (@Cornfedmofo) April 2, 2017
There’s the “Racism is Science and you are a Modernist heretic!” defense of Nazis:
Race realism is no different than gravitational realism.
Egalitarianism is the heresy that has crept into the Church via Modernity.— FOLKWAYS (@freyasmuse) April 2, 2017
There’s the “Nazism is a basic human right!” defense of Nazis:
If you can listen too father, Isn’t having an ethnic community a human right?
— FOLKWAYS (@freyasmuse) April 2, 2017
There’s the “Naked Jew-hating pagan” defense of Nazis:
Europe is finally liberating itself of that Middle Eastern Jewish cult! The Viking Spirit once again slaughters the Christian sheep!
— Marky Mark (@DasAbendland) April 2, 2017
There’s the pedantic “Something Something Natural Law” defense of Nazis:
Most “human rights” have nothing to do with concept of Natural Law – if you had passionately defended NL, church wouldn’t be where it is
— hugo (@mangomaccallus) April 2, 2017
There’s the “Real Catholics don’t believe in human rights” defense of Nazis:
unfortunately Fr u r wrong & not practicing Roman Catholicism duties & obligations r the language of RC not “rights”
— Sublime Skeptic (@sublime_skeptic) April 3, 2017
There’s the “Opposition to Nazism is Satanism” defense of Nazis”:
The globalist multicultural left is just watered down Satanism whoever fights against it is a soldier of God,whether he realizes it or not.
— alt-right dude (@prussiancroat) April 3, 2017
Nor has anything changed in two years. When Padre made this perfectly orthodox observation a few days ago…
White Supremacy and Christianity are incompatible.
— Fr. Matthew P. Schneider, LC (@FrMatthewLC) August 24, 2019
The Freak Show immediately turned up to deny the existence of the freak tweeting above and to blame it all on the Librul media:
White supremacy is a term concocted by Socialist Liberals ….any definition published is with the approval of the liberal press . Ignore
— Theresa D (@Barefoot_Dancer) August 25, 2019
But I think my fave is this:
Falsely accusing Catholics of being white supremacists is also incompatible with Christianity
— Eric Hanson (@Ehans98) August 25, 2019
There’s something exquisite about the people who tweet back that Fr. Schneider is mean for condemning them for a sin they are definitely not guilty of even though he never attributed the sin to any specific person. The guilty conscience of the Reactionary is a sight to behold.
Meanwhile, as Nazi defenders spend all their time complaining that they are the Real Victims[TM], do be aware that if they got their way, Fr. Schneider and every other autistic person would be gassed as lebensunwertes leben.
This is a murder cult. Period. End of story.
Bravo, Fr. Schneider, for standing up for the gospel!
