Notable Quote from Cardinal Müller: "Pope Is Successor of Peter, Not Francis"
"The document approved under Francis should help these people pastorally, but the Catholic doctrine of marriage cannot be relativized."
The Church cannot be transformed from an autocracy into a democracy: "It is a false premise to confuse the Church with a political organization, like the World Economic Forum or the United Nations", Cardinal Müller said.
Asked about the next pope, he replied: "Every Pope must serve the mission of St. Peter: he is servus servorum Dei. The future Pope is not a successor of his predecessor, but a successor of Peter".
The cardinals who vote in the conclave must remember "that we are the Mystical Body of Christ and not an international humanitarian and social organization":
"This pleases many secularized people, the elite, the oligarchs, who want the Pope as a symbol of their religion - but the Pope is not a symbol of secularized religion", the Cardinal proclaimed truisms.
