A politician, holding up the Rosary, can be trusted more than one who takes down Christ’s Cross, Cardinal Müller preached while holding up a Rosary in the Roman church Sant’Agnese in Agone on January 21.
This was a reference to Italy’s former deputy prime minister, Matteo Salvini, who often displayed a rosary during speeches, while, for instance, Munich Cardinal Marx opposed making it mandatory for crucifixes to be displayed in Bavarian public buildings.
According to Edward Pentin (NcRegister.com, January 21), Müller observed that Francis engages in a “a vain effort” by talking to the old Scalfari “when the atheist concluded from these dialogues that Francis “had denied the divinity of Christ.”
Müller reminds Francis that only by witnessing with Saint Peter, ‘Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God,’ a pope speaks as “pope of the entire Catholic Church.”

“A politician who symbolically holds up the Rosary is more to be trusted than one who literally takes down the Cross of Christ.”

At least the good cardinal Muller acknowledges and states that Benedict’s conduct in 2013 caused and still causes mental trauma for Catholics.
In addition he asks for theological clarity concerning the relationship between Benedict and his putative successor.
Muller also upholds the teaching concerning no Holy Communion for practising adulterers.
Interesting times ahead.

Not sure what you mean by theological clarity re the relationship between the the two men. I do think, however, that the authority from jurisdiction of a bishop who is emeritus is foggy at best.
It is another VatII/post VatII idea that lacked proper consideration.
If you read the letter from the SCDF it says there must not be Communion given to those who were married validly, divorced, then married …More

If you read the letter from the SCDF it says there must not be Communion given to those who were married validly, divorced, then married in a civil ceremony. The pope did something else: He basically turned the question of the validity of th marriage to the individual conscience. I disagree with this approach, but it's not the same as what you seem to think

TO DR BOBUS WHO DOES NOT WISH TO BE CONTACTED.
Cardinal Muller has the authority of a catholic bishop and a member of the (discredited) college of cardinals.
He can act by bringing to the attention of the faithful that bergoglio aka francis is not a pope anymore having been excommunicated for formal heresy.

Perhaps he does. But is he right in thinking that.?
For any person to think that francis is a pope would mean accepting an individual who openly rejects the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist and many of His core teachings.

Act? With what authority?
