Cardinal: Next Pope Must Defy “Homosexual Lobby”

“Doctrine is not the property of the pope, the bishops or the faithful. It must conform to the word of Jesus, no one can modify it. If Jesus says that marriage is between a man and a woman, no one can change this doctrine. The homosexual lobby wants to equate marriage with unions between people of the same sex, but this totally contradicts the doctrine of the bible. We must return to orthodoxy, doctrine founded on scripture and apostolic tradition, and against heresy.” – German Cardinal Ludwig Müller, speaking to the Italian newspaper La Stampa. Müller, a regular on far-right US podcasts, was a loud critic of Pope Francis, accusing him of “surrendering” on LGBTQ issues. He’s also an anti-vax nutbag.

Cardinal Gerhard Müller says next pope must stand up to ‘gay lobby’ as part of taking a stronger position ‘on doctrine’ that resists ideologically driven pressures.
