They're just following Francis's lead to gain brownie points with the boss.

Liberal Bishops undermine their authority by demanding obedience to false teachings and violations of the moral law, Cardinal Gerhard Müller wrote in a statement on LifeSiteNews.com (December 12).
Müller mentions as an example Protestant Communion introduced in Germany with a “theologically defective” document. “The [liberal] German bishops clearly overstepped their magisterial competence.”
The cardinal defines liberals as lenient, indifferent and relativistic toward doctrine, “However, they act in a hyper-authoritarian manner toward orthodox Catholics and can only implement threats and punishments.”
Therefore a priest can “certainly not be bound by any episcopal order” to commit an act against the sacramental order of the Church, Müller adds.

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.
