Müller added that the Latin world feels an inferiority complex towards the German Church "with her money". Therefore the Germans are left to themselves "as long as the money is flowing".
Finally Müller acknowledges that "the Church is divided" [between Catholics and Progressives] and that the progressives, apart from repeating old errors, offer no forward-looking ideas.
"Their model that has brought the Church in many countries to the brink of insignificance, cannot be considered the antidote to the largely homemade crisis of the Church", the cardinal added.
