Cardinal Müller Questions Cult of Personality Around Pope Francis

[Katholisches] "Every Catholic, especially every bishop and every cardinal, has a positive and constructive relationship with the Pope. But this is anything but courtly manners and the groveling of subordinates, against which Pope Francis always spoke."

"That means that not everything he does and says is, from the outset, already perfect and unquestionable."

"There should be no personal cult and a pope-touching tourism."

Cardinal Gerhard Mueller, prefect of the Roman Congregation for the Congregation of the Doctrine and the Faith, no longer in office, on Pope Franziskus, report of the German Press Agency (DPA), quoted from Der Spiegel v. July 19, 2017.

Why attempt to stop the “Cult of Personality”????

It worked for Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Che Guevara, and Cuba!

(Oh wait. Those were all of his Royal Popeness’s socialist/communist heroes as well, weren’t they? )

[RitaOK]

It is notable now that Mueller has been so brutally offended by the pope, that he finds his voice and makes a stab at plainly speaking. He suddenly seems to notice more and excuse less.

A sober and unemotive headline.

Now check out another "journalist's" take on the same issue over at La Croix:

Self-pitying and disgruntled, Cardinal Müller takes more jabs at Pope Francis

Cute, eh?
