Gerhard Ludwig Müller

Anyway, so the second 2015 Ordinary Family Synod was more of the same, but they'd adjusted.

They'd adjusted in order to play defense against the attacks by the goodly African bishops, along with Cardinal Burke and Cardinal Mueller.

Cardinal Burke had been demoted in that time.

He was formerly like number four in the church.

And so he used some vagary, sorry, that's actually not the correct term, he used some weaponized ambiguity in the document, and the Argentine bishops literally five months later said, are we doing the right thing? And he didn't just say, yeah, keep it up, keep it up.

That would be one thing.

This is what led Cardinal Mueller to say that a quite reasonable interpretation of many Francis' words with regard to Amoris Laetitia, he said this in 2021-2022, appear materially heretical.

Because he didn't just send this rescript back to the Argentine bishops and say, just keep it up.

[laughs]

First millennium, I would say, uh, from my studies, and I wrote a, a whole book about it, uh, written, uh, a forward to my book was written by His Eminence Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller, who accept my, my, my thesis and my, my, my, my research.

And I'm, uh, and I...

In this book, unfortunately, it is only in Polish, not in English, but maybe in the future, or, or my PhD will be translate for sure, but with this book, I don't know.

My goal is to give you a very brief summary of these two historic presentations, uh, in Rome.

The second day was a presentation by Cardinal, uh, Gerhard, um, Müller, and that was the surprise presentation, who also gave a phenomenal theological defense of Mary Co-redemptrix.

Now, let me justify you having to listen through a very brief, uh, summary of two great theological, uh, papers and, and defenses of Co-redemptrix.

It's because first of all, this is the mother you love.

These are very readable.

Uh, certainly, um, Cardinal, uh, [lips smack] I mean, in, in, in the sense of something that's, that's not a, a theological challenge, Cardinal Burke's, uh, presentation is, is, is really initially, uh, able to be read by all.

Now, Cardinal Müller takes, I think, a little bit more unpacking.

So let's now go to Cardinal Müller's.

It's a total collision of ideals and reality, and the papers are just full of these examples today.

Like Corriere also covers Cardinal Müller publicly debating the morality of Catholic soldiers disobeying direct military orders regarding capital punishment.

And that stems from the report in France's Le Monde, right?

Yes, exactly.

There are, like, exactly what are the limits of assertions.

That's a separate question, and the Pontifical Biblical Commission actually produced a non-binding document a few years ago that Cardinal Muller authorized the publication of, called The Inspiration and Truth of Sacred Scripture, that explores that question.

But that's a kind of general sketch of the area.

Joseph, does...

There's a whole series on the co-mediatrix of Our Lady there and recent presentations from Cardinal Muller, Burke, and others.

But coming up in two minutes, we're going to have Dr. Anthony Stine weigh in on a Morris Letizia week.

Praise be to Jesus Christ.

We've got these two sides.

Uh, the, the bishops of Rio de La Plata, the, the bishops in parts of Europe against, you know, Cardinal Müller, and the, and the dubia cardinals, and, and the bishops of Poland.

And it's just like we have these parallel sides that are contending for who gets to decide, you know, how to interpret the perennial teaching of Holy Mother Church.

Are you drawing a parallel from the early church that fought over who Christ is to now the, the, the modern church that's trying to fight over how to interpret what the Church has always taught? Do ...

Marriage either is what Christ taught us, taught us it is, or it means whatever you want it to mean.

The Casper proposal was a death blow to the integrity of the Christian understanding, not only of marriage, but of reality itself.

Cafaro and Müller understood what Casper and his allies intended.

To put it bluntly, the redefinition of sin." Father Murray, why in the world would we want to redefine sin? What ...
