Cardinal Müller on Strickland’s Sacking: “It’s an abuse of the Divine Right of the Episcopate.”

November 11, 2023 breaking, Uncategorized Comments Off on Cardinal Müller on Strickland’s Sacking: “It’s an abuse of the Divine Right of the Episcopate.”

What is being done to Bishop Strickland is terrible, an abuse of the divine right of the episcopate. If I could advise Mgr Strickland, he should absolutely not resign, because then they could wash their hands of his innocence. [Note: Which is why Strickland refused to resign, and was sacked.] According to the commandment of justice, a bishop can only be removed by the Pope if he has been guilty of something evil (heresy, schism, apostasy, crime, or a totally non-priestly behavior), for example the pseudo-benediction that insults God and deceives people about their salvation – blessing people of opposite or the same sex in extramarital relationships. Arbitrary dismissal from the post of bishop of a diocese in which

VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — A prominent Vatican cardinal and canon lawyer favored by Pope Francis has told LifeSiteNews that reports he is drawing up a document with the Pope to reform the process for a papal conclave are “absolutely false.” In an exclusive statement provided to LifeSiteNews on Sunday evening, Cardinal Gianfranco Ghirlanda, S.J., rejected as “absolutely false” reports that he is in the midst of plans to reform the manner of electing a new Pope. “Before your email I had no news about the Conclave reform that you mention,” wrote the 81-year-old Jesuit cardinal, raised to the cardinalate by Francis in August 2022. “I went to the Internet and saw that it is said that I am working with…Continue Reading

Bishop Says Catholics Must Vote Pro-Life Because Abortion is a “Choice Between Good and Evil”

Bishop Michael Burbidge of the Diocese of Arlington is urging Virginia Catholics to vote early and understand the choices between “good and evil” they have in this year’s elections. The Commonwealth of Virginia is one of only two states with statewide elections every year and the entire General Assembly is up for re-election this November, along with some local offices. “It’s very important for Catholics to, first of all, get out there. And if we’re going to be victorious and have people uphold all we believe to be true and good, then we have to win,” Bishop Burbidge said on the latest episode of his podcast, Walk Humbly. “One of the ways you do that is — in this day and age, it’s…Continue Reading

VATICAN CITY (ChurchMilitant.com) – In an unprecedented move, five senior cardinals have submitted a set of five dubia (doubts) to Pope Francis that question the direction of the Synod on Synodality.  The cardinals made their dubia public on Monday, just before the opening of the synodal process, after Pope Francis refused to respond to a second set of “reformulated” questions, according to a letter cosigned by the five prelates. The five cardinals are Cdl. Walter Brandmüller, Cdl. Raymond Burke, Cdl. Joseph Zen Ze-Kiun, Cdl. Juan Sandoval Íñiguez, and Cdl. Robert Sarah. Warning the faithful “not to be subject to confusion, error and discouragement,” the letter explained why the cardinals were publically releasing the dubia.

The German Bishops’ Conference convenes its plenary assembly today, setting the stage for what promises to be a pivotal gathering amid a period of unprecedented tension within the Church in Germany — and with the wider Catholic Church.  On the official agenda for the gathering from Sept. 25–28 in the town of Wiesbaden are topics ranging from handling spiritual abuse to preparations for the upcoming Synod on Synodality in Rome. However, overshadowing discussions are the profoundly divisive issues brought to the surface by the controversial German Synodal Way, particularly the blessing of same-sex unions — an issue that has seen acts of open defiance across Germany against clarifications from the Vatican.  At the center of this maelstrom is Cardinal Rainer Maria Woelki, archbishop of…Continue Reading
