Media report: In a counter-move the Vienna Cardinal Christoph Schönborn (71) is supposed to switch to the Vatican and take over the management of the CDF
Kuala Lumpur (kath.net/KNA) Accordjng to a report by the Malaysian Catholic weekly "Herald" Pope Francis plans personnel changes within the Curia. This suggests that the former prefect of the CDF, Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller (68) will occupy the See if Mainz long since vacated by Cardinal Karl Lehmann. In return, the Viennese Cardinal Christoph Schönborn (71) is to switch to the Vatican and take over there, the management of the CDF, the Journal reported over the weekend, citing "well-informed Vatican sources" on its website.
There were indications that the pope also plans the appointment of Cardinal Stanislaw Rylko (71), Polish cardinal and President of the Pontifical Council for the Laity, Archbishop of Krakow. He would assume the office of the 77-year-old Stanislaw Dziwisz, who has already reached the age limit for resignation.
The paper refers to a decree by the Pope, according to which the Council for the Laity and for the Family will be merged on 1 September into a new office. Its statutes were published by the Vatican in early June. According to "Herald" it will be incorporated into an office of pastoral health care. The new formation will receive the status of a congregation with the decision making power. As head of the new Congregation, the Honduran Cardinal Óscar Andrés Rodríguez Maradiaga (73) has been selected, a close confidant of the pope and head of the Cardinal Council for a reform of the Curia.
Another of the personnel according to the "Herald" referrs to the Congregation of the Causes of Saints. The Vatican Interior Minister, Archbishop Angelo Becciu (68) is supposed to replace the earlier head, Cardinal Angelo Amato (78). The director of the Vatican Secretariat of State is to be the former apostolic nuncio in Lebanon, Archbishop Gabriele Giordano Caccia (58).
Frightening news from frankenchurch, if true.
Fox takes up guard outside hen house.
Burke went to Malta and Canizares to Valencia but this is the big one. The CDF had to be neutralized and who better to take charge than Francis' main wingman.
With Schoenborn at the CDF, the good times can really start to roll.
*Mainz will now have an actually CATHOLIC archbishop for the first time in many, many years.
*Vienna might get an actually CATHOLIC archbishop for the first time in many years. Francis might really screw up as to his own agenda or God might intervene.
*The once well-regarded Schoenborn who has revealed himself to be a full-fledged ecclesiastical left revolutionary and disgrace will have fewer than 4 years to undermine the doctrines of the Faith before he must submit his resignation (hopefully to a new and CATHOLIC pope) or fewer still if God fires Bergoglio ASAP.
*Will heterosexual marriage STILL be allowed?
*Will openness to homosexual perversion and "gay"/straight threesomes be required of each and every person seeking a thoroughly "revised" "sacrament" of "marriage?"
*Will the "experience" of prior "marriage" terminated by civil divorce (but not valid annulment) be REQUIRED of any who seek the sacrament of marriage or to receive the Eucharist?
Just asking!
Mainz is no longer an archdiocese. So this is busting a Cardinal all the way down to a mere bishop. I guess he still retains the title of Archbishop.
A jaw=dropper.
Schonborn as head of the CDF? I am guessing Hans Kung was unavailable.
I think Bergoglio is planning to declare himself a Lutheran before he attends the Lutheran shindig in October.
lol
