Vatican Is Speaking in Contradictions [i.e. Not Saying the Truth] – Cardinal Müller

Good on His Eminence for pointing out the obvious, but it is sad that the Vatican seems to be committed to a model that will lead the Church down the same path as the dying Anglican Communion.

Regarding Protestant Communion, the German bishops are thinking in categories of politics and power, not in categories of the Faith, Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller has observed.

Talking to CatholicOutlook.org (July 23), he added that Protestant Communion is “absolutely, objectively impossible”,

“If you don’t have full communion in the Faith, it’s not possible to have full communion in the sacramental expression.”

Müller points out that the Church has a [very] different Faith than the Protestants, “We cannot say it is all the same and it is enough to have a religious feeling, or sentiment that we are belonging together.”

Müller pointed out that the Vatican is giving contradictory directives, “The directives of the Prefect of the Congregation of the Faith are contradictory to the letter [Munich] Cardinal Marx received from the Holy Father”.

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.
