Cardinal Müller Threatens FSSPX with Hell - "Episcopal Ordinations Are Mortal Sin"

Cardinal Gerhard Müller repeated on Herder.de (Communio magazine) his attacks on the Priestly Fraternity of St Pius X (FSSPX). Main quotes, shortened for readability.
- The FSSPX elevates its criticism of religious freedom, ecumenism, and interreligious relations to the standard of what is Catholic and demands that the Church admit the Council propagated erroneous and ambiguous teachings.
- Certain formulations of the Second Vatican Council are given doubtful interpretations—for example, that Muslims and Jews worship the one God with us; some see in this a religious-historical relativism. The classical Catholic teaching is overlooked that human reason is capable of recognizing the existence and unity of God.
- In doctrinal matters, these are, in my opinion, pretexts to avoid full submission to the authority of the Pope.
- In my discussions with the FSSPX, I insisted that their criticism would only be justified if the Council had actually taught what they attribute to it.
- Those who …More

De reactie van Kardinaal Müller betekent dat de Rooms Katholieke kerk zich bedreigt voelt door de beslissing om nieuwe bischoppen te wijden zonder toestemming van Rome. Dat lijkt mij logisch, de reguliere Rooms Katholieke kerk loopt leeg en de kerken van de FSSPX stromen vol. Zolang de organisatie crisis in de Rooms Katholieke kerk niet is opgelost, zal dit proces doorgaan. Een simpele berekening leert dat over 25 jaar de FSSPX meer gelovigen zal tellen dan de reguliere Rooms Katholieke kerk.

Known in the military as friendly fire. This is not where the enemy are located.

Sure like Pat Tillman right? Friendly fire?

"Mortal sin." Curious terminology.
They know they can't use it with others, because perhaps those others don't even remember its meaning.

Cardinal Mueller defended Tucho's heretical Amoris Laetitia. Enough said.

The German Muller is a stereotypical case of diabolical disorientation.
Question: Who is closer to hell? The SSPX with its TLM, or Muller embracing a couple of punk women? (By the way, look at the slobbering expression on his face-he almost looks like a very youthful "Adonis.")
CNC: Dime con quien andas...

I dare say the Church would do well these days to ignore the muddled words of all German Bishops.

Obedience does not imply sin.
Tradition must be preserved.

"The term “pastoral council” is a journalistic label and dogmatically meaningless"
---
I agree but goes further: the term "council" with respect to "Vatican II" is dogmatically meaningless.

Dr. Bobus

The Cardinal said that the Council must be accepted in its entirety. Sacrosanctum Concilium is explicit in saying that priests should say their office in Latin. I wonder whether the Cardinal implemented that prescription when he was bishop of Regensburg.

Dr. Bobus

Those who ascribe serious errors in the faith to the legitimate Second Vatican Council are mistaken. Cardinal Mueller.
In many cases they are also called bishops, who are appointed by the pope.

I'm confused, what office does he currently hold?

Sandy Barrett

😉 None.

Talk about gas lighting your generation rejected oath against modernism
The Catholic is a Traditional by its nature you rejected that and your German comrades

Truth.

Oh Brother!!!

I would say I have had a fair few graces by means of the SSPX, but what do I know?

The FSSPX will not be going to Hell, but the new cATHOLIC church will.
