The real problems for the Church and the Vatican do not come from so-called “traditionalists,” the cardinal proposes, but from progressives who undermine the core of Catholic belief.
A “majority of German bishops and lay functionaries,” he states, heretically deny Church teaching “on the uniqueness of redemption in Christ, the full realization of the Church of Christ in the Catholic Church, the inner essence of the Catholic liturgy as adoration of God and mediation of grace, Revelation and its presence in Scripture and Apostolic Tradition, the infallibility of the magisterium, the primacy of the pope, the sacramentality of the Church, the dignity of the priesthood, the holiness and indissolubility of marriage.”
“Here we have a threat to the unity of the Church in revealed faith, reminiscent of the size of the Protestant secession from Rome in the sixteenth century,” Müller proposes, underscoring the disproportion between the pope’s “relatively modest response” to the massive attacks on the unity of the church and the “harsh disciplining of the old ritual minority.”
Nothing like a little "fraternal correction" to get a guy's attention.
