Indoctrination: "Francis Treats Cardinals Like Freshmen" - Müller

Cardinal Gerhard Müller, 74, criticised (IlMessaggero.it, September 1) the Vatican’s silence on Cardinal Zen, 90, “Next month there will be an unfair trial. No one has raised the very serious matter of our Brother Zen."

Zen could not attend the August consistory because his passport was confiscated in view of his September trial.

Müller hopes that Zen [whom the Vatican has abandoned] will not be abandoned. The consistory would have been an opportunity to show solidarity with him but “nothing” happened. Müller believes that the Holy See keeps quiet to please Beijing.

On the Curia Reform, Müller said “ironically and with a hint of bitterness” that the cardinals were confronted with a Constitution already in force and unchangeable,

"It is as if we were treated like freshmen, as if we had to be indoctrinated."

He's not shocking. His behavior is typical of what happened in the 1970s when lefties took over the seminaties and religious orders.
Those Catholics who rightly rejected leftist ideology were ostracized. There were priests and sisters who were pushed out in favor of homosexuals and non believers.More

Treated like Freshmen

Does anyone else think it is possible that resentment is quietly building amongst the cardinals and that with the exception of new ideologues like McElroy en Steiner, the new cardinals from far off places, and will cause a backlash that will make them unlikely to vote fo Tagle, who is far too close to the Jesuits and Francis?

Just because the media loves Tagle doesn't mean that he'll be a serious candidate in the next conclave

Who do you think are serious candidates? Parolin is too damaged, Hollerich too radical, Zuppi's clandestine gay blessing and lying about it likely damaged him, Grech did us a favour by criticising the correct of the German synodal path saying he didn't see the problem. Steiner has been too outspoken, people like Cupich, Marx and McElroy are too radical.

Tagle does seem like the most plaussible progressive dandidate, with the appeal of the first Asian pope (and an increase in Asian cardinals) and curia experience.

Let's hope he enters the conclave a pope and leaves a cardinal.

I really hope Cardinal Ranjith can take many Asian cardinal electors from him.
