Cardinal Gerhard Müller stated that the "blessings" of gay couples, endorsed by the Pope in the document Fiducia Supplicans, are a direct step towards heresy.
Cardinal Gerhard Müller, the former Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and President of the International Theological Commission and the Pontifical Biblical Commission, declared that Church leaders and the Catholic faithful must reject “blessings” for homosexual “couples” endorsed by Pope Francis in Fiducia Supplicans because they contradict Catholic teaching and “lead to heresy”.
Fiducia Supplicans’ affirmation of “blessings” for homosexual relationships “violates, at least, the second paragraph of the Profession of Faith” because “to bless these persons as same-sex couples is to approve their unions, even if they are not equated with marriage,” the former Vatican doctrine chief said.
Furthermore, the prominent cardinal and theologian explained that Catholics can publicly disavow Fiducia Supplicans and that this is not disrespectful to Pope Francis but rather a service to him.
As earlier reported, according to Metropolitan Hilarion Alfeyev, after the blessing of gays by the RCC, reunification with Orthodoxy is impossible.
