(kreuz.net, Regensburg) The Pope has to decide whom he will name to the Congregation of Doctrin and the Faith.
This is what Heresy-Bishop Gerhard Ludwig Muller (64) of Regensburg said yesterday for the German agency 'dpa'.
Msgr Muller has already had talks in Rome about his appointment to the Congregation for Doctrine and the Faith.
The current incumbent, Cardinal Levada (75) will soon retire.
Disclaimer He needs the appointment for his ego
Msgr Muller is at the moment working to improve his heretic image by saying conservative things.
As far as the office goes, he's interested in:
"It would not irritate me in the sense that I needed the nomination for my own ego, but of course it is an activity that has to do a lot with my career as a theology professor.
Dubious theology career
As a theology professor Msgr. Muller presents a very mixed record.
In his wordy and long winded work "Catholic Dogmatic" he denied, among others, the Virgin birth.
Upon this it happened -- says Msgr Muller -- "not to deviate from physiological particularities in the natural process of birth (such as something like the non opening of the birth canal, the non-injury of the hymen and not experiencing the pains of birth), rather it's in the healing and saving influence of the Grace of the Savior on human nature."
The heretical work appeared in 2010 in an uncorrected third edition.
A denier of the Dogma of Transubstantiation
In 2002 Msgr Muller's work " Die Messe – Quelle christlichen Lebens". [The Mass: Source of Christian Life]
There he says that the body and blood of Christ are not "in reality" the material parts of the person Jesus during his lifetime, nor would it be represented by his transfigured body.
Or he believes that the Eucharist is present in that we participate in Community with Jesus Christ through eating and drinking the "bread and wine".
Msgr Muller compared Holy Communion with a small gift: "Already in the interpersonal area it may represent an approximate message of friendship between people and the receiver is to embody and demonstrate, so to speak, the emotional connection to the addressee.
Thus expressions pass like: "The natural purpose of bread and wine must be attached anthropologically.
He denies the Dogma of Transubstantiation -- the essential change in the Eucharistic substance:
The natural essence of bread and wine will be transformed by God in this sense that the being of bread and wine only are understood to consist, realized and present in the holy community with God."
An Ecumenical Kamikaze Attack
Last October Msgr Muller proposed numerous ecclesiological heresies.
He did this with scandalous praise for the Lutheran Laybishop and homosexual propagandist Johannes Friedrich.
As far as the relationship between the Church and the Protestants he said: "We define our relationship to one another no longer actually with existing differences in teaching, life and constitution of the Church, but over the commonalities, which are fundamental, are where we stand."
He openly denied the unity of the Church: "There is therefore -- strictly speaking -- not several churches together, but there are divisions and splits within the one people of God and his house."
Msgr Muller made complete fools of his audience by claiming that 'Dominus Jesus' -- the Declaration of the Congregation for the uniqueness of Christ and the Church he built in 2000 -- did not deny protestants were part of the Church.
On the contrary: The Doctrine is "far away from that", the Protestants adhere to the being of the church -- stated the distorter.
He "won't say no" to the Pope
Msgr Muller will not refuse an offer to the post:
"Formally, you could probably say no, but is simply not enough to say no to the Pope' -- he joked.
The Pope said he desired a correction to the incorrectly translated German words of transubstantiation, which has yet to be carried out in his diocese today.

The translation from the original is a little sketchy but if I understand it correctly, and if it is accurate as to Muller's beliefs, then Benedict XVI has either taken leave of his senses, is being blackmailed or has a very weird idea of Catholcism if he were to select such a man to such a post.
ReplyDeleteI hope the report is simply untrue.
What's sketchy?
ReplyDeleteThis report is absolutely true. This Bishop has very little correct understanding of the Eucharist, is hostile to tradition and friendly to homosexual Lutheran "bishops".
ReplyDeleteIs he really so different from Cardinal Levada?
Tancred, my friend: you misunderstand me. By "sketchy" I mean that the translation was not done in the correct English idiom. Some of the phrases are therefore hard to understand. That is what I meant by "sketchy". I do realize, of course, that having someone standing by to translate German into literate English is not always possible.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Of course I accept that the report is true - which is why i made the comment that the Pope is a bit off his rocker in wanting to appoint this man, who looks like he'll be merely a re-run of Levada.
We're on the same page, dear friend!
I'm not perfect, I just want to make sure I've got it right.
ReplyDeleteThe whole hierarchy of the catholic church is sadly working against the very foundation and dogma of faith. Please run to the church in catacombs. All we see is the false church.
