In a conversation on the plane to Maputo, Mozambique (September 4), the German bootlicker-journalist Andreas English said to Pope Francis that not all Germans believed the bad things said about him by the German Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller.
According to NyTimes.com, Francis asked back what Cardinal Müller had said about him. Englisch answered that Müller wanted to save Francis papacy from bad theology.
Francis replied that Cardinal Müller has good intentions and he is a good man, but he is like a child.
In the same conversation, Francis called his decision to appoint the heretic Michael Fitzgerald a Cardinal an act of justice.
Fitzgerald is an anti-Catholic prelate who was removed as the head of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue by Benedict XVI in 2006 to become nuncio in Egypt.

Imagine what popester thinks of Christ Jesus, and His admonishment that there is no greater faith [or, theology] than that of a child. Childlike faith.
Good Theology is derived from childlike faith and Fear of the Lord.
Is there any way the ordinary Catholic faithful could somehow organize and clean out the Vatican etc.
Thats like, If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor. A self-serving lie.
As Jesus told the disciples, Some demons can only be exercised by (both prayer and) fasting.
“Ame, I say to you,Whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it. (Mark 10:15)
So that Pope clearly states that Cardinal Muller is following Christ. Perhaps the Pope should listen and follow Cardinal Mueller for the benefit of his own soul.
My prayers to the Holy Spirit to enlighten all Catholics so that we can defend the Catholic faith.
“Childlike faith.”
How come everyone but Francis can see this?
You know, back in the day, the Habsburgs and other Catholic aristocracy provided a lay counterweight to the hierarchy. That faded after the French Revolution and WWI effectively ended it. All the laity can really do is pray and withhold donations. To some extent that’s what some wealthy American Catholics are doing, and that’s part of the reason why Bergoglio’s gang are squealing.
I use the word,”reverence” in place of fear of the Lord.
There are Catholic websites such as Church Militant that are doing the good fight.
Amen and second it.
There is also Roman Catholic Faithful.
True, as well.
Seems to me, imho, that when fear of the Lord was well established, from top to bottom in the Church, that reverence came with it, as deep as it was wide and that fear of the Lord was understood as truth, and not a behavior.
Now, were all deemed reverent and there is no real fear of the Lord much heard about, in our NO Mass age. Im thinking of the scripture..... It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Lord .
But, Im a convert and now a Traditional Catholic and even traditional by nature, a little rigid, so I take it as seriously formational, causing us to seek a Good confession and to find the state of grace, eventually to make friends with it, increasingly learning how to stay in it, longer, and eschewing eventually any presumption, but that of Truth. Avoiding scrupulosity is pretty easy in our modern lives, as we press forward to holiness.
Heartbreaking. Sad for popester, as well. My God, may he be converted soon and all our sins and slights be forgiven by the grace of God.
