Cardinal Müller: Benedict XVI Could Not Keep Silent Because he Saw the ‘Danger’, by Diane Montagna

By Diane Montagna, LifeSiteNews - Benedict XVI said he could not remain silent in his new book because he sees the voices of those who wish to abolish priestly celibacy as a “great danger” for the Church, Cardinal Gerhard Müller has said… Elaborating on the “danger” Benedict sees, (Müller) pointed to forces within the Church that are ready to use the Amazon Synod to weaken the Catholic priesthood… “The Synod discussed the possibility of ordaining married men, but the Amazonian bishops represent only a small part of the world episcopate,” the cardinal told Corriere. “The Catholic priesthood is at stake here.

Msgr. Charles Pope: A Glimpse of Liturgy and Parish Life in the 1920s

By Msgr. Charles Pope - I have said the Traditional Latin Mass for all of my many years of priesthood.
