It was “not so good” that Pope Francis had suppressed the traditional
Roman Mass "in an authoritarian way," Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller
said in an interview with journalist Michael Haynes.
Pope
Francis, Cardinal Müller said, had been "hurting and committing an
injustice by accusing everyone who loves the older form of the rite of
being against the Second Vatican Council in a general way, without any
differentiating justice to single persons."
The cardinal
criticized what he sees as a double standard in the Vatican’s emphasis
on dialogue and respect: "All the time they speak about dialogue and
respect for other persons. When it comes to the homosexual agenda and
gender ideology, they speak about respect—but toward their own people,
they have no respect," he said.
Cardinal Müller emphasized that
the Church is like a family called to overcome internal tensions like
brothers: "We do not have a police-state system in the Church, and we do
not need one." And: "The Pope and the bishops must be good shepherds."
