It has come to my attention today that one of the senior people in the CDF at the time that they were busy passing judgment on me had a record of propositioning a religious sister in the confessional. That is about as serious an abuse of the Sacrament as possible. And the last few years have also shown that the then head of the Congregation, Cardinal Gerhard Muller, is less than forthcoming in his loyalty to the present Pope.
And these were the people that my religious superiors addressed as “Eminence”, and bowed down before their every word.
In the evening Prayer this evening I prayed the words “He has cast the mighty from their thrones” It is good that the power of the CDF is eroding, and I pray that the truth, which is emerging, will set us all free.
