Müller: Money Transferred to Mission Bank Account, Not Declared Private Property
The "source" even claimed that the cardinal "had no access to accounts" of the congregation.
PillarCatholic.com had reported that Müller had €200.000 transferred to his private bank account and that Pope Francis had ordered Müller to repay the sum in 2015.
Müller himself told LifeSiteNews that "no one instructed me to pay anything back because the amount in that mission account was the property of the Congregation anyway."
He adds: "It was just a matter of transferring the amount back to another account of the Congregation where it was before."
The money, Müller said, was "not declared" as his private property, "For some reason, the administrator had transferred some money back and forth without me asking him to do so".
Regarding the timing of the reporting, the "source" said that the attack could be "to disavow a potential papal candidate" and to "discredit the voice of orthodoxy."
