Müller is in Sydney to address the Australian Confraternity of Catholic Clergy conference. "We are not a green party", he added,
"Environmental policy is nothing to do with faith and morals. Those issues are for politicians and for people to vote for the party they agree with."
“Bishops are not scientists, environmental experts or politicians." Müller recommended that Church leaders should concentrate on religion.
Pope Must Fight «Schism»
Müller explained that Francis and the bishops needed "to provide the clearness, based on the word of God" to heal the "schism" between the "conservative" and the "progressive" in the Church.
False understandings of theology were causing doctrinal confusion.
But instead Francis’ priorities were social justice and the alleviation of poverty, he added.
Collegality Only on Paper
Müller said many cardinals who will elect Francis' successor will face the problem of not knowing each other, because Francis has not called a general meeting of cardinals for four years.
The lack of such meetings appears to contradict the consultative style ostensibly favoured by Francis, who [allegedly] wants a "synodal approach".
Cardinal Mueller said Francis also listened to "so-called friends but they were not always friends".

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.
