Cardeal Muller sobre o sínodo da Amazónia: "é um pretexto para mudar a Igreja"

«Your Eminence, one last thing: you often refer to “them,” to those who want to change the Church. But who are “they”?

- It does not depend on a single person or a specific group of people. It is a self-referential system, immune from any critical argument, a way of thinking that must disqualify other Catholic faithful and theologians, by morally branding them as Pharisees, doctors of the law, rigid, and conservative.

They speak of the wisdom of the ancestors with great respect but the long tradition of the Church is despised, and Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI are treated as outdated. They want to adapt [everything] to the world: indissoluble marriage, celibacy, women priests, and apostolic authority, as if it were a political issue. Everything must be changed in the conviction that, in this way, there will be a new springtime of the Church, a new Pentecost. This too a bizarre idea, because the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is a unique event, eschatological and valid forever. As if the example of the Protestants were not enough to disprove this illusion. They do not see that instead they are destroying the Church, they are like blind men falling into a pit.»
