It is a tragedy for the Church and for this papacy that Cardinal Mueller was so brutally treated by Pope Francis. His Holiness needs to surround himself with good people not the chaff that advice him now.
The prefect emeritus of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith also said these groups and individuals who publicly hold these views are against priestly celibacy and are exploiting such abuse crimes “for their own agenda.” Cardinal Müller shared these words in a sit-down interview with the Register in Rome recently, during which he shared his hopes for the Feb. 21-24 meeting of bishops on the “protection of minors” and discussed a range of other topics.
The German cardinal, who has been giving many interviews and talks on the crisis in the Church since Pope Francis asked him to step down as prefect in July 2017, also said he believed academic theology is facing “a breakdown” and that “more qualified theologians” are needed, along with “an appreciation for them.”
“Some Church’s leaders don’t realize the deep crisis the Church is in,” he said. “We must learn from the mistakes of history and learn from the great reform movements.”

Cardinal Müller: Clergy Sex Abuse Involves Sexual Misconduct, Not Merely Clericalism
Speaking with the Register, the
former head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith says
Church leaders must acknowledge the central role homosexuality has
played in the abuse crisis.
Those who reduce clergy sex abuse to
clericalism and never mention the role that homosexuality has played in
the crisis “don’t want to confront the true reasons” for the abuse, Cardinal Gerhard Müller has told the Register.The prefect emeritus of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith also said these groups and individuals who publicly hold these views are against priestly celibacy and are exploiting such abuse crimes “for their own agenda.” Cardinal Müller shared these words in a sit-down interview with the Register in Rome recently, during which he shared his hopes for the Feb. 21-24 meeting of bishops on the “protection of minors” and discussed a range of other topics.
