Cardinal Müller Asks Pope Why He Won't Answer Dubia

ROME (ChurchMilitant.com) - The recently dismissed head of Church doctrine, Cdl. Gerhard Müller, is wondering why there's been no discussion of the dubia submitted last year to Pope Francis. He also laments the Vatican's excessive focus on environmentalism, claiming that should be left to competent laity.
In a wideranging interview with Italian daily Il Foglio Friday, Müller, former prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, also noted the "dramatic" decline of the Church in Germany, linking it to the wider collapse of faith across Europe.
"I do not understand why there is no dialogue with calm and serenity," he said, referring to the dubia, or set of questions submitted to Pope Francis last year by four cardinals seeking clarity on Amoris Laetitia, the apostolic exhortation on marriage and the family that has led to worldwide confusion and divergent interpretations of marriage and the sacraments.

Did Muller hit his head on the top bunk when he got up this morning? "Environmentalism" is a socialist gimmick to work toward dictatorial control and a one world government. There is a group called "deep state" which is making world wide decisions on the basis of the rise of a one world dictator. You can read about it in the Apocalypse. Francis is on the "board of directors". Scripture under that scenario is only a voice from the past which is only valid for that day and time.

It sounds like he's throwing bombs or "pissing into the tent" now that he's on the outside. Don't worry, I'm sure Francis is finding some abuse allegations from 40 years ago he can put out there at Mueller through the press first of course to create a giant public speculation.

I wish your devious thinking was just being devious but it isn't. It's the way that the devil operates.

9:31....he already did that with the german boys school allegation against G. Ratzinger and Muller. The berboglio cabal is truly straight outta the bowels of hell....as easy to predict as hillary clinton's demonic-clown posse, cause they're cut from the same fetid cloth.

Posted a few days ago on this website: "Cardinal Schönborn says Amoris Laetitia is Perfectly Orthodox".
Why on earth would he then ask why the 'dubia' have not been addressed when they are, as Mueller has made clear already, doctrinally unfounded.
This is another beat up article.

Muller said that about 200 minor or major amendments of AL were proposed by the CDF once its draft had been made available.
Francis rejected them all despisingly.
Then he asks Schönborn if AL is "orthodox".
Who in the Pope's opinion is the best entitled to say if AL is orthodox? Müller or Schönborn or "Tucho" the AL's ghost writer?
We may wonder if it is not time to suppress the CDF which has become utterly useless under his papacy.

Muller's fidelity is to Francis, not to the faith. The time to speak with authority is over. Anything he says now is of no consequence. He'll have to answer to God for his failure.

I'm not sure what God thinks, but you apparently have that figured out.

Peter W said...

JAQ, Muller and the rest of the German bloc at the 2015 Synod were responsible for writing the doctrinal position on St Thomas' the primacy of conscience and De Prudentia that later formed the core of Amoris Laetitia.
Muller is crestfallen because his 'tailor made' job at the CDF was taken away from him. He's showboating.

He didn't say he knows what God thinks; he said "he'll have to answer to God". Don't we all? Did he say something that was not true?

Wasnt the Dubia addresses to Müller also? Howcome he didnt answer it?

Peter W said...

He didn't answer because he clearly thought the 'Dubia Bros' were dunderheads who are pathologically ignorant of standard Catholic doctrine on conscience and the moral virtues. Muller was one of the principal architects of the core theology underpinning Amoris Laetitia.
