Did Cardinal Marx Learn Anything From the Coronavirus?

The coronavirus teaches the Church to understand its mission "anew," Cardinal Reinhard Marx told Katholisch.de (April 9).

The "new" consists for Marx in rattling down old mantras.

Marx entrenched himself behind slogans by saying that the Church shouldn’t withdraw into a "museal past."

He continued that „we are sometimes too attached to old ideas and traditions" which today "have nothing more to say" and "play no role for the future of mankind either." Did he means his outdated liberal ideology form the 1960s?

He also repeated Francis' mantra about the Church which still is "too autoreferential" – or rather: mantra-reverential.

No, Marx learned nothing that could be interpreted as remotely in line with Catholic theology.
The following link provides an idea , sung in Old High German that should be forefront in his mind ( and ours ) at all times. Take a listen it is rather entertaining and timely. Ex Cathedra performs "Totentanz, The Dance of Death"

In fact, it's theology of Marx that is composed of "old ideas" that "have nothing more to say". Nothing more pathetic than an out of touch liberal.
The Marx neurotic projection sounds like someone on a psychoanalyst's couch. He projects on others his own flaws (outdated theology) because he is unable to look at himself.
He is fanatically attached to the theological version of Hitler's march into …More

He is fanatically attached to the theological version of Hitler's march into Russia. And it will end the same way.
