Thoughts on Bp Athanasius Schneider? He is friendly to SSPX and seems like a man with no modernism.

Athanasius Schneider wrote in his 2013 article,

"In an interreligious meeting in Kazakhstan, in which I participated, we spoke about the most holy realities of each religion. An Imam said, that for the Muslims the holiest of holy is the book of the Koran in Arabic l and he stressed saying: it would be an act of sacrilege when somebody will dare to touch the Arabic Koran with unwashed hands. Hearing this statement I suddenly was thinking about the scenes of the reception of Holy Communion in hand and without almost any clear sacral sign and surely without immediately preceding washing of the hands, which is the case in the vast majority of the Catholic churches all around the world.

I think Bishop Schneider is right. But even worse than the reception of Holy Communion with unwashed hands is the reception of Holy Communion with unwashed soul.

This is absolutely right. Anytime one goes to the Novus Ordo, you see pretty much everyone go up to Communion. I guarantee, especially if it's a wedding or a funeral, that a good majority of the crowd hasn't gone to confession in a long time.

The last time I was at a wedding at a Novus Ordo mass the church was pretty full but relatively few people went to Holy Communion.

It depends on the culture. When I went to Spanish Novus Ordo Masses, people respected the sacrament and knew not to receive if they weren't prepared.
