VATICAN CITY, October 11, 2019 (LifeSiteNews
<https://www.lifesitenews.com/catholic>) ― A German cardinal asserted in a
recent interview that *not even the pope nor “a majority of bishops” can
change dogmas of the faith or divine law to suit their own preferences. *

In an interview with La Repubblica, published yesterday, *Cardinal Gerhard
Müller vigorously defended the orthodox, traditional, understanding of the
celibate Latin priesthood. *

When asked about the Synod’s discussion of the possibility of opening the
priesthood to “viri probati”, elderly married men of proven faithfulness,
the former prefect of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF)
said it was a “mistake.”

“There are already married deacons,*” Müller stated.* *“If we introduce
[married priests], they must respect the custom of the ancient church: they
must live in continence.”*

The cardinal explained that *even in the Orthodox Church, which has a
married priesthood, married priests must refrain from marital relations in
the days that precede the celebration of Mass*.

“Do you not know about the Trullan Synod of 692?” he asked his interviewer.

“There, thanks to pressure from the emperor, the law of celibacy was
dissolved, but only the Orthodox Church adhered to that. Not the Latin
one,” Müller continued.

“...Whoever wants to insert the practice of married priests into the Latin
Church does not know Her history.”

*Priestly celibacy, he explained, is more than just an “ecclesiastical
law.” It has “deep roots” in the sacrament of orders, for the priest is the
“representative of Christ the bridegroom.” The celibate priesthood has a
lived spirituality that cannot be changed. *

The permission Benedict XVI granted to married Anglican priests who
converted to Catholicism to stay married upon receiving Catholic orders is,
Müller said, “an exception.”

“The apostles left everything to follow Jesus,” he noted. “Christ is the
model for the ministers, the priests. And this cannot be changed by secular
pressure.”

*Doing away with **the law of celibacy** would, he said, even contradict* *the
Second Vatican Council. *

“Presbyterorum Ordonis, number 16, speaks of the bond of fittingness
between he who represents Christ the celibate husband and the Church.”

Müller rejected the idea that an end to celibacy would cut down on the
number of sex abuses.

“It comes from a false anthropology,” he said. “An abusive act contradicts
chastity.  Abuse happens everywhere, not only in the priesthood. And we
must not forget that 80% of the victims aren’t children but teen boys. That
means that many abuses are committed by people who don’t want to respect
the Sixth Commandment.”

“Nobody can be admitted to the priesthood if he doesn’t agree to live
according to the commandments of God and the exhortations of Christ.”

Müller also discouraged the idea that conservatives desire a schism in the
Church, saying that a schism is against Christ’s will, as well as a
betrayal of his words and of the teaching of the apostles.

*“No pope, nor a majority of the bishops, can change the dogma of the faith
or divine laws according to their own wishes,*” he said.

*“The tradition of the Church **is not* *a toy one can shape at will.” *

The cardinal also rejected the libel that he is an enemy of Pope Francis,
saying that the true adversaries of the pontificate are those who deny that
the papacy is a divine institution, and who want to change revealed
doctrine without taking into consideration both Vatican Councils.

“Whoever says these things does great damage to the credibility of the
Catholic Church.”

*As for women’s ordination**, Müller said *he couldn’t talk about it
because *it **is “dogmatically impossible*” to arrive at the concept.

A final question, touching on the John Paul II Institute, led the cardinal
to say it was a “great mistake” to “destroy” the Institute, and that it was
an attack on the intellectual quality of Catholic theology.

*“Everyone in the academic world is speechless,” he said. “It is
unthinkable* *to fire** lecturers for their truly orthodox thought*. Among
other things, *their thought doesn’t betray doctrine, so one cannot
understand why they were sent away.”*
