I think I can be excused for finding this hilarious. Muller complaining that he was sacked without due process. And even saying that the Church’s social teaching must be applied to dealing with people in the Church!
Well, Gerhard, you are just getting a taste of your own medicine! I’m sorry, but you’ll get no sympathy from me!
“Cardinal Gerhard Müller has sharply criticized Pope Francis for the “unacceptable” way in which the pontiff recently dismissed him as head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith (CDF).
“On the very last day of my mandate as CDF prefect, the pope informed me within one minute of his decision not to prolong me. He did not give a reason – just as he gave no reason for dismissing three highly competent members of the CDF a few months earlier,” the 69-year-old cardinal told the Bavarian daily Passauer Neue Presse.
“I cannot accept this way of doing things. As a bishop, one cannot treat people in this way,” he said in the interview, which was published on July 6th.
“I have said this before – the Church’s social teaching must also be applied to the way employees are treated here in the Vatican,” he added.”
