All the talk about "collegiality" has gone out the window with Jorge Bergoglio. Never would Pope John Paul II or Benedict XVI have ever acted with the near maniacal manner in which this occupant of the Seat of Peter presides over the Holy Catholic Church.
Edward Pentin, truly the most well-informed and respected Vatican journalist today, has reported on Cardinal Gerhard Müller’s recent interview on German television. The Cardinal seems shows his own weakness in being prepared to confront the errors of Bergoglio as is revealed by some of his statements:
His remarks also come after it has emerged the CDF had clear misgivings about the document before it was published — concerns which were never heeded. One informed official recently told the Register that a CDF committee that reviewed a draft of Amoris Laetitia raised “similar” dubia to those of the four cardinals. Those dubia formed part of the CDF’s 20 pages of corrections, first reported by Jean-Marie Genois in Le Figaro on April 7, the eve of the publication of the document.
Another senior official went further, revealing to the Register last week that Cardinal Müller had told him personally that the CDF “had submitted many, many corrections, and not one of the corrections was accepted”. He added that what the cardinal states in the interview “is exactly the contradictory of everything which he has said to me on the matter until now” and he had the “impression of someone who was not speaking for himself but repeating what someone else had told him to say.”
Not only has Bergoglio and the minions surrounding him ignored the Curial department charged with ensuring doctrinal orthodoxy but they he has ignored up to thirty Cardinals and numerous National Conferences of Bishops who have raised legitimate concerns about the matters contained in Amoris Laetitia.
A significant number of episcopal conferences around the world have expressed their concerns to the Pope, the Register has learned, and like the four cardinals, have received no response. Also before the document was published, 30 cardinals, having seen an advance draft of the apostolic exhortation, wrote to the Pope expressing their reservations,especially on the issue of communion for remarried divorcees, warning that the document would weaken the three essential sacraments of the Church: the Eucharist, marriage, and confession. The Pope never responded to that letter either, a Vatican source told the Register.
Bergoglio's ignoring of both will allow history to declare him "illegitimate."
May that history be written soon.
