Giveaway: Cardinal Müller Defends Fratelli Tutti Preventively

It would be wrong to say that Francis' new encyclical Fratelli tutti corresponds to the "Masonic and UN discourse of fraternity," Curia Cardinal Müller told Kath.net (5 October).

However, no previous statement in the interview suggested such an interpretation. Müller was only asked for his "first assessment" of the encyclical. In his answer he also denied, without being asked, that the text does "reduce what is Christian to what is a natural part of each man."

The Cardinal's defence speech is unmasked by the principle "excusatio non petita, accusatio manifesta": whoever offers a defence without being asked for it, justifies the accusation.

Seriously, why do people insist on ruining perfectly good ice cream with bits of candy that freeze into solid rocks?

Original sin

...and suddenly Cardinal Muller's previously vocal champions on GTV, once quick to quote, now take flight and scatter. :D

Why would Muller defend this? He boldly stepped out and called restrictions imposed by the coronavirus unacceptable, despite German Bishops praising the restrictions, however, in discussing Amoris Laetitia, in an interview on EWTN, he said, "[It] is absolutely impossible that the Pope, as the successor of St. Peter and the vicar of Jesus Christ for the universal Church, presents a doctrine which is plainly against the words of Jesus Christ."( lifesitenews.com/…oris-laetitia-sspx-deaconesses),

Pardon me for being my contrarian self, but I need to read Fratelli Tutti first, before making a judgement as to the level of catholicity.

WOW, what a surprise! (Said In a dull monotone voice) A novus ordo bishop defends a modernist agenda? Nooooooo, you must be mistaken.

“novus ordo” another of the enemy’s creation. A tool for divide and conquer.

Reveals himself [his comments about the US’ “Democracy” also telling].
Cf. Fratelli tutti: making people worship Satan
They must have dirt on him which they are now using for him to do what he is doing for them.
