Pope Francis does it again!
Timothy Birdnow
Oops, he did it again!
Pope Francis I, Argentina's Catholic pop icon, has again struck down a conservative in his endless effort to bring the Church into line with his National Enquirer style of moral teaching. Having demoted Cardinal Raymond Burk from the Chief of the Vatican's highest court to the doorman at the Malta Holiday Inn, the good Il Papa has now removed the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
From the Jerusalem Post:
'In a major shake up of the Vatican's administration on Saturday, Pope Francis replaced Catholicism's top theologian, a conservative German cardinal who has been at odds with the pontiff's vision of a more inclusive Church.
A brief Vatican statement said Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Mueller's five-year mandate as head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, a key department charged with defending Catholic doctrine, would not be renewed.
Mueller, 69, who was appointed by former Pope Benedict in 2012, will be succeeded by the department's number two, Archbishop Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer.
Ladaria, a 73-year-old Spaniard who, like the Argentine pope is a member of the Jesuit order, is said by those who know him to be a soft-spoken person who shuns the limelight. Mueller, by contrast, often appears in the media."
End excerpt.
Mueller was the last staunch conservative at the Vatican. He will take over as Patron of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, a post that largely makes him a custodian for the Sepulchre. I hear they are giving him a lot of keys...
His replacement is a lawyer who wrote his thesis in theology on The Holy Spirit in St Hilary of Poitiers. Not sure, but anyone who likes Hillary is not good in my book.
In the end Pope Francis has been systematically purging conservatives to make the world safe for moral relativism. His vision seems to be that Christ came to change the Law, not fulfill it. This guy is destroying the Catholic Church and with it the moral anchor of the Western World.
Great job!
