Cardinal Brandmüller: Majority Opinion and Catholic Faith Are Two Different Things

Thank God for prelates like his Eminence Walter, Cardinal Brandmüller! He's stating what ought to be obvious to any Catholic, but seems to be forgotten today. Christ's Church does not operate on opinion polls, and it is not a democracy! It is a Kingdom, and our King is Christ!

Christus Vincit! Christus Regnat! Christus Imperat!

Truth is not necessarily found with the majority, said Cardinal Walter Brandmüller at the conference Catholic Church, where are you going?(April 7) in Rome.

Brandmüller underlined that the Catholic sensus fidei (witness of faith by the simple faithful) and the "public opinion" are to different things:

“When Catholics en masse consider it legitimate to remarry after divorce, to use contraception or other similar things, this is not a mass witness to the faith, but a mass departure from it.”

Brandmüller also casted doubts on questionnaires used for recent synods of bishops since the wording of the questions has contributed to manipulating the results.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
