SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The Vatican’s former doctrine head visited a pair of U.S. Catholic colleges this week to talk theology — and offered a fresh round of criticism of the Synod on Synodality just days before he’s set to participate in the event’s final session.
In a Sept. 24 interview with the Register following events at both Holy Cross College and the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, Cardinal Gerhard Müller criticized the synod’s methodology, underlying theology and objectives ahead of the Oct. 2-27 gathering in Rome.
The longtime papal critic, who participated in last year’s synodal session after Pope Francis surprisingly invited him, said the synod was characterized by “manipulation,” following a stage-managed plan toward predetermined outcomes.
“I think the organizers of the synod have a certain purpose and goal and vision of the Church,” said the cardinal, referencing pushes to embrace “LGBT ideology” and the United Nations’ “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.”
