GERMAN BISHOP HEINER WILMER: THE POPE WANTS TO TURN THE CHURCH UPSIDE DOWN
Rumors abound (and George Wiegle confirms the rumors) that Pope Francis will finally and clearly show his hand—he approves of the German Synodal Way and wants to bring it worldwide. Rumors have it, that the Holy Father will repudiate his own Jesuit Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, by appointing one of the most liberal German bishops as his successor.
Recently, even a fellow liberal Jesuit, Fr. Thomas Reese, was questioning the mental acuity of the pope and some of his rambling and talking way too much, so much so, that it created an international incident with the Russians and some of their ethnic communities. This necessitated a profound apology to Russia.
One has to wonder if the mental acuity issues of an 86 year old pope is enabling those who advise the pope to make decisions that will truly lead the Church into schism. Or does Pope Francis, whose papacy is ending, want to create a doctrinal and moral crisis that a future Ecumenical Council will have to address, like the Council of Nicaea and even the Council of Trent. Is this is goal?
Not only would the progressive liberal bishop of Germany repudiate the sitting Prefect of DCF, but he would in many ways be repudiating so much of what Pope Francis has said.
STRANGER THINGS AND THE UPSIDE DOWN CHURCH, PRESS THE TITLE FOR WIEGLE’S FULL AND MUST READ COMMENTARY:
Bishop Heiner Wilmer, this Catholic Moment, and the Catholic Future
For according to persistent stories emanating from Roman sources (some the usual hysterics, others far more credible), Bishop Heiner Wilmer, SCJ, will be named Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, perhaps as soon as December 19.
As for the purpose of the Synod on Synodality for a Synodal Church, Wilmer declared that “the pope wants to turn the Church upside down.”
What would it mean – what would it signal to the rest of the world Church – for the Holy Father to appoint as Cardinal Ladaria’s successor a man who, we may suppose, finds Ladaria’s critique of the German Synodal Path unacceptable? Would Pope Francis be repudiating his own “Letter to the People of God Journeying in Germany,” to which Ladaria referred at the beginning of his address to the German bishops, and which urged the Synodal Path to listen less to the alleged signs of the times and more to the enduring truths of the Gospel?

I wonder if His Holiness has been listening to Ozzy lately? Going off the rails on a crazy train...
For the moment, George Wiegle is repeating “right wing conspiracy” rumors about this. However, Wiegle seems to know people in might be in the know in Rome. Rorate Caeli reported this first from a blog in Italy. Sometimes they get things right and other time no. I have a feeling, a sick feeling, that this might be one of the things they get right. We’ll see.
Finishing the job Vatican Disaster II started - since I no longer contribute to Peter’s Pence I will select another Church revenue raiser to cut off
It too shall come to pass! May God help us until it does and through when it happens and what comes after. It does feel as if the Church, particularly the Roman Church, is going over a cliff.
Disordered thinking from disordered priests.
Everything the disordered touch turns to _ _ _ _.
Bishop Heiner Wilmer at the Doctrine of the Faith? Not to worry.
With him or without him, the Church of Rome will preserve the Catholic Religion immaculate.
Anyway, we have been down this road.
In 2012 A.D., the word was that Pope Benedict XVI would appoint then-bishop Müller as the Prefect of the CDF.
In turn, the right-wing assured us that Müller was a heretic.
Rorate Caeli promoted the following from Marco Tosatti:
https://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2012/03/in-charge-of-henhouse.html
"If this Is true, we will be witnessing a revival, high up in the Church, of a form of theology which for decades has been more a cause of problems for the Church, than it has been a resource: Liberation Theology."
Then the list of Müller's "heresies."
-- On the Perpetual Virginity of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary:
-- On the Real Presence:
-- On Protestantism and the unicity and salvific universality of Our Lord Jesus Christ, as recalled in the Declaration Dominus Iesus:
-- Bishop Müller describes the heart of ecumenism as follows:
"We no longer define the relations among us on the basis of existing differences in doctrine, life or in the constitution of the Church, but rather based on what we have in common, that is, on the very foundation on which we stand."
Pax.
