October 8, 2019 (L'Espresso) — The Synod on the Amazon has begun. "But it will have consequences for the universal Church," warns Cardinal Gerhard Müller, in a lengthy interview with Matteo Matzuzzi for the newspaper "Il Foglio," released on the very day of the opening of the work. "If one listens to the voices of some of the protagonists of this assembly, one understands easily that the agenda is entirely European."

"In Germany," Müller now says — he a German as well, although he does not govern a diocese and therefore is not part of the episcopal conference — "they almost want to refound the Catholic Church. They think that Christ is just a man who lived two thousand years ago, they maintain that he was not a modern man, they are convinced that he had none of their education. They therefore think that it is necessary to fill in these gaps and that it is up to them to act. In a homily Cardinal Marx asked rhetorically: 'If Christ were here today, would he say what he said two thousand years ago?' But Christ is not an historical figure like Caesar. Jesus Christ is risen and present, he celebrates the Mass through his representative, the ordained priest. He is the subject of the Church, and his Word remains and stands true forever. Christ is the fullness of revelation, because of which there will be no other revelation. It is we who must seek to know it more and better, but we certainly cannot change it. Christ is unsurpassable and irreversible, and today this does not seem to be very clear at certain latitudes."
