Cardinal Muller is bang on: Corruption of Doctrine Always Brings with it Corrpution of Morals

At a recent ordination to the priesthood, the former perfect of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith gave a stunning homily about some things facing our Church. Many claim that the root problem of the present crisis is "clericalism." I say hog-wash. We need to call out the real problem - people have turned their backs on the Truth, and the Truth is not a thing but a person, Jesus Christ, who says, "I am the way, the truth, and the truth." Following Him is demanding. Remember the Cross! Too many of us desire, not the Way of the Cross, but the easy way of the world.

I hope you enjoy Cardinal Muller's homily. Lots of food for thought in it.

  1. Stirring words indeed, Father! The media quotes I read at the time, but the full text shows the brilliance of the servant and Priest in defence of Truth and Love, as embodied in our blessed Lord.
    Thank you for sharing this.
