Marx said that the German bishops were unanimous, but I find it hard to believe that Mueller would go along with this.
We know from Zech 11:17 that the "Worthless Shepard" will leave the flock, have a wounded arm and blind eye. We know that Daniel 11:32 says he will corrupt with flattery and in Verse 37, he will not regard God, be homosexual, and conceited.
Knowing there will be a "falling away" of the church in the latter days, IMO, this is what they are talking about. Instead of the church changing the culture, the culture will change the church. In Isiah 4:1, it says there will come a day when churches( women) will eat their own food( make their own doctrine), and declare their own righteousness( call evil good, and good evil), but still want to be called "Christian"( take His name). As the churches with collars and robes, take on sodomy in their midst, the real Christians will have to break away or take on the plagues coming to the mainline denominations. The "whore of Babylon" is the world church that goes along to get along. It is the church that fornicates with the kings of the earth. In Revelation 18:4 an angel begs for the ones that have been left behind to suffer the Wrath of God to "come out of her" or suffer as the lost have suffered. You can either hang on to your church denomination, or hang on to Jesus, but not both.
