Sodoma Supplicans: The Pope Is Not the Word of God - Cardinal Müller
The worldwide outcry against homosexual blessings should make "those responsible in Rome" think, Cardinal Müller told Kath.net on 5 January.
Müller criticises Francis' pseudo-distinction between "official liturgical blessings" and "private pastoral blessings" and the idea of a 15-second blessing with the sign of the cross while invoking the Holy Trinity.
"The priest must be careful that his blessing in the name of the Church is not exploited by secular-ideological and ecclesiastical-heretical pressure groups".
Most problematic for the Cardinal is Tucho Fernandez' claim that there has been a "real development" beyond what has already been said about blessings. A Roman dicastery cannot invent something by appealing to the personal will of the current Pope, Cardinal Müller explains:
"There is only one treasure of the Word of God, contained in Sacred Scripture, fully preserved and faithfully interpreted in the context of the Apostolic Tradition".
