Cardinal Müller on the SSPX Consecrations: The Time Has Come to End Traditionis Custodes and Free the Latin Mass Once More
"Let the Ancient and Modern Rites Coexist. Banning Latin? That Would Be a Gift to the Rebels."
Gerhard Müller: "Demanding blind obedience is not the Christian style. No compromises on dogma — but more tolerance in pastoral practice."
Benedict XVI appointed him to lead the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith; Francis created him a cardinal. Gerhard Ludwig Müller is one of the most eminent living theologians and one of the most authoritative members of the College of Cardinals. In this interview with Il Giornale, the German cardinal argues that the time has come to close the chapter of restrictions on the Tridentine Mass opened in 2021 with the promulgation of Traditionis Custodes, and to return to liberalizing the ancient liturgy as Ratzinger had done.
Your Eminence, do you believe that the imminent Lefebvrian schism should lead the Church to rethink the restrictions on the Latin Mass still in force?

Cardinal Muller, the voice of reason and charity! Bravo!
Indeed! This seems simple enough! Deo Gratias! In fact it is so obvious that this should have been done on “Day 1 “ of this Papacy!!
Cardinal Müller said..."Demanding blind obedience is not the Christian style."
What does "blind obedience" mean within the Kingdom of God?
As Catholics, we live within God's Kingdom. Within His Kingdom, God has established that when His Pope has declared/enacted "X," then the People of God are called to adhere to said teaching.
As Pope Saint Pius X declared:
"Therefore, when we love the Pope, there are no discussions regarding what he orders or demands, or up to what point obedience must go, and in what things he is to be obeyed;..."
"...when we love the Pope, we do not say that he has not spoken clearly enough...whoever is holy cannot dissent from the Pope."

On his final day as Pope, holy Pope Benedict XVI had pledged to his successor "unconditional reverence and obedience."
Pax.
