Cardinal Müller Calls Francis' Clericalism-Theory "Babbling"

Clerical abuses have nothing to do with celibacy or purported ecclesial "power structures", Cardinal Gerhard Müller writes on LifeSiteNews.com (January 7).

In reality, abuses are about offenders who commit homosexual crimes. The cause of sexual abuse is “the offender's will for sexual gratification", he adds. Therefore the abuse of power may be a means but is not the cause for the evil deed.

Without mentioning names, Müller calls Pope Francis identifying "clericalism" as the root of abuses "babbling". For him this is an "insult" to the many victims of sexual abuse who have been abused by offenders unrelated to the Church.

I’m confident that God is in the process of cleansing his house. It’s like a gigantic broom coming down from heaven cleaning his house first, then the lord of Justice, with cleanse America and the outside nations...pray that God does not do it in a form of chastisement., because chastisement will hurt. Especially if it is in the form of famine and war...

I agree with you, Lalanz. If the Lord restores, He will start with His Church. I don't see anything happening until Our Lady of Fatima is finally obeyed and Russia is consecrated, however. Also, if restoration happens, don't expect it to be painless. His restoration always involves suffering. He flooded the entire world for the sins of man. He incinerated Sodom and Gomorrah for the vile sins of …More

Cardinal Müller is right. Celibacy is not the cause - but it would be the cure . Uphold your vows of Clerical Celibacy fallen "Priesthood" who know not Christ.

God will clean up His Church first and then the other institutions of government and of private industry will be decimated for being the cesspools that they are.

Müller gets it.

Müller gets it.

His excessive laxity and his tendency for permissiveness has made this pope a pushover for the homos within the church. Even now in his sermons and his letters to bishops it is obvious that he is not asking for any meaningful action on the abuse scandal but continued passivity.

Those letters of course contain no acknowledgment of the root cause of the crisis — decades of homosexual infiltration at the highest levels of the Church and throughout the priesthood — and much blather about the “cure being worse than the disease,” which is nothing more than a plea for business as usual. He goes on and on about “paradigmatic” shifts and so forth but never mentions the most obvious solutions to ending predation and restoring credibility to the Church — such as, stop promoting predators at the Vatican.
