"Master Of Doctrine": Francis Makes Fun of Fired Cardinal Müller

Cardinal Müller thanked Francis in a February 5 letter for declaring Irenaeus of Lyon a Doctor of the Church, “With this great gesture your pontificate will be forever linked in the most positive way in the history of the Church” - Müller flattered Francis.

The inflationary liturgical title of "Doctor of the Church" was never given to Irenaeus because a martyr is liturgically preferred to a mere "Doctor of the Church". The new title is therefore of no use.

Francis answered Müller the next day (!) making fun of Müller by calling him “a master of Catholic Doctrine of the Faith” and saying that Müller's [inaccurate] reflection on Irenaeus and his teaching was “accurate and precise” (letter published on Kath.net).

Francis flattered that Müller has a clear understanding of Gnosticism which was already fought by Irenaeus, “Why don't you write a book on the various expressions of Gnosticism? I can assure you that it will be very good.” Everyone knows that Francis, who thinks nothing of theology, would not be in the least interested in such a book.

It is unbelievable that Cardinal Muller, is flattering the most heretical, blasphemous and idol (pachamama) worshipping man to ever sit on the Chair of Peter.....Jorge Bergoglio..... who is systematically destroying the Catholic Church.....and whose election has a plethora of canonical anomalies & question marks hanging over it.

Muller, along with all the cardinals should be vigorously defending the 2000 year Constant Magisterial Teaching of the Church. But on that matter we only hear from Archbishop Vigano, Bishop Gracida and a few whimpers from a couple of others.
Cardinal Muller, please.... please.... please.... initiate an Imperfect Council to fully investigate the validity/invalidity of Benedict's resignation & Bergoglio's supposed election, given that Bergoglio's heretical errors are manifest to all & sundry within the Church, all the way down to primary school children catechised in the basics of the faith.

"the most heretical, blasphemous and idol worshipping man to ever sit on the Chair of Peter." You might want to check your history on that. Also, this author... pic related.

I guess we have to see it as believable now. These people have lost the faith, therefore for them, there is nothing to fight for!

Look at the hands - they were once close.

Awe, isn't that cute!

The sarcastic response Müller received is an appropriate one given to a compliment that was obvious flattery and adulation. It’s much better to keep silent.
