Bishop Schneider calls for a "new apologetics" and "re-Catholicization" of countries that have lost their Catholic faith in The Springtime That Never Came. He teaches us to avoid theological confusion's "mental gymnastics" and assures us that souls return to the Church through repentance and reverence for the Blessed Sacrament, Eucharistic Adoration and processions, Confession, and the Holy Rosary. Bishop Schneider believes that our current situation, which is marked in many places by a lack of access to Holy Mass and Communion, is God's "merciful appeal for a true eucharistic conversion of the entire Church."
