Hollerich to Catholics: "You Are Outrageous"
He finds the [justified] Catholic criticism of the Synod "outrageous", Luxemburg Cardinal Hollerich, General Relator of the Synod, told Katholisch.de (20 September).
For Hollerich, this means that an individual Catholic determines what is Catholic. Hollerich is wrong, because "what is Catholic" does not need to be “determined", but is clear as daylight.
Hollerich is outraged that Catholics don't mind being at odds with [the anti-Catholic] Francis: "For some people, the magisterium apparently stops at Francis' election.” However, the real problem consists in the fact that for Francis and Hollerich, the "magisterium" consists of being lords over the faith.
People who once clamoured to obey the Magisterium now disobey Francis' "Magisterium", Hollerich argues, linking the faith to subjective persons rather than to objective content.
For him, all is only about "nuances" that are "different from what they [= the Catholics] themselves would say." In reality, Francis contradicts fundamental truths of the faith such as denying the indissolubility of marriage and biblical morality, while forbidding the Roman Rite and refusing to kneel before the Blessed Sacrament.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Hollerich complains that he is "disappointed".
And, "When the Pope says 'todos, todos, todos' ('all, all, all'), I can't go and say, no, not true." The problem lies elsewhere: Francis says 'todos, todos, todos' but does the opposite.
