In 2016, Müller called Fernández “heretical,” but now he says that back then he criticised “the opinion” [expressed by Fernández] that any diocese could become the seat of the Successor of Peter.
Müller adds that a pope or a bishop cannot demand obedience for their private opinions, "and certainly not for teachings and actions that would contradict revelation and the natural moral law.”
Asked about Fernández' heresy that fornication is not always sinful, Müller says that the Church cannot relativise the revealed truths.
“In no way can we justify ourselves on the grounds of our fragility, to persist in sin" against the will of God, he said, doubting that his advice was "desired by the addressees."
