German Cardinal Müller defies pope's request for confidentiality at synod with EWTN interview
EXCERPT:
Catholic cardinal who is a former head of the Vatican's doctrinal office and a vocal critic of Pope Francis' ongoing monthlong summit on the future of the church has defied the pontiff's request that summit members maintain confidentiality about its proceedings.
German Cardinal Gerhard Müller, who led the Vatican's powerful Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith 2012-17, appeared Oct. 5 on the Eternal Word Television Network'snightly news program.
Müller, however, expressed optimism about the start of the high-stakes summit, which is formally known as a Synod of Bishops and is taking place Oct. 4-29.
"I have … a certain form of optimism, but at the end we must wait in what direction it will go and what will be the decisions behind the scenery. That is always the problem," said Müller, describing the conversations at his table for the synod as "very good."

LOL. The National Anti-Catholic Reporter is about as relevant as PF. Now they would be saying the opposite if we had a traditional pope - then they would be screeching about the peoples' right to know!
Good for him!
The news is that Rome is not interested remotely in moving against Cardinal Müller.
Anyway, the shocking news is...the most important thing is that Cardinal Müller, in just one day, has moved from his fearmongering nonsense in regard to the supposed hostile takeover of the Church...we must resist...to his sudden optimism in regard to the Synod.
Another interview or two in favor of the Synod will spur trads to return to denouncing Cardinal Müller as a heretic.
During the past few years, trads have portrayed Cardinal Müller as a vicious enemy of Pope Francis. Trads have pitted Cardinal Müller against the Vicar of Christ. Prior to that, trads had portrayed the Cardinal as a vicious, anti-SSPX heretic.
Trads will abandon Cardinal Müller should he maintain an optimistic view of the Synod. We will return to the following:
