Relaxed and at ease, Archbishop Gerhard Ludwig Müller returns a week after his appointment as prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to the Diocese of Regensburg. A series of interviews for journalists are on the agenda for Friday: liberation theology, the SSPX and the situation of divorced and remarried. Minefields for an ecclesiastic, who has moved to third place in the Vatican's ecclesiastical pecking order.
Archbishop Mueller, first of all, congratulations on the new job. Since when did you know about your appointment?
I definitely knew it on 16 May, when the Holy Father has summoned me to his presence.
Did your commitment to the liberation theology endangers your appointment?
I do not know. If you know the Catholic faith, we know that to her essentially belong the social obligation, the responsibility for the world, the love of the poor. Liberation theology is a big word - but every Christian theology has something to do with the freedom of man. Also in South America in this context, it is about theological questions: Given the misery and indignity that many people around us can not imagine, given this glaring injustice, we can not simply go away with a pious raising of eyebrows about it. Faith and doing good go together. These are the two sides of a coin.
Are you then in agreement with the Pope?

Don’t tie me down...I am happy to define my position without any outside influence.
And the lack of both has me convinced that only GOD could prevent both things from occurring, by being beyond discovery. At least it's a good theory. Opinions vary.
If the Resurrection didn’t happen, the Bible is nothing but a fairy tale.
That is a leap of faith that I am not willing to make.
Yeah, they even had wireless phones back then.
Human nature and technology are in no way related.
Yep
"That's just what I said."
I responded to his post #11 in which gorush explains that logic makes him agnostic.
The point is that logic when combined with evidence points toward theism—specifically the Gospel of Christ.
LOL!
Flawed as I am you won't be surprised to hear that I missed that.
Well... to tell the difference between a high functioning retard and a low level genius takes a blood test.
BTW, I studied Latin and agnostic is not translated as ignoramus.
Do you think it 'Christian' to make a personal attack ?
I have obviously failed to be clear. I am sorry. Perhaps another time.
How can you be 'wrong' if you haven't picked an answer ?
Perhaps.
No. And if you felt attacked, I apologize.
But if you read my post strictly from a logical approach, you can see that it reads as a direct question without any personal attack.
I was quoting a Cambridge scholar regarding agnostic being translated in Latin as “ignoramus.” I would think it’s close.
Well... when you start off with the question of whether GOD is a liberal, and then back up to proving GOD even exists, it can take some time.
Rather like asking the question of whether Obama is a legal candidate for President, then backing up to prove he even exists. That one is taking a long , long time.
Evidence = empty tomb.
There are far more opportunities to be wrong than there are to be right...hence my consternation and search.
You are right. I overreached on some of the comments.
