Cardinal Müller, "Francis Is Not A Liberal“

Talking to the anti-Church German weekly Zeit Müller stated that he is not part of any “ideological direction”, wether this is called liberal or conservative, left or right. To a certain extent, this is true as Müller, throughout his career, has played both sides, mainly for political reasons. Not seldom this has resulted in contradictory positions.
Müller even claimed that Pope Francis himself "is neither liberal nor conservative". This statement is evidently counterfactual as Francis has even become the downright leader and hero of the liberal faction in the Church.
