Pope Francis Replaces Key Vatican Cardinal.
wochitnews on Jul 1, 2017 In what is considered to be a big shakeup, Pope Francis has replaced Catholicism's top theologian, Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Mueller. Müller, a conservative German cardinal, has reportedly been at odds for awhile with the pontiff's vision of a more inclusive Church. In a statement from the Vatican Saturday, it was announced that Mueller's five-year term as head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith would not be renewed. The 69-year-old, who was appointed by former Pope Benedict in 2012, will reportedly be succeeded by the key department's second in charge, Archbishop Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer.
