EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig was born on 31 December 1947 in Finden, a suburb of Mainz. He then studied under Karl Lehman for his doctorate in Theology, which he received in 1977. He then served in theological capacities across the Church before becoming Bishop of Regensburg in 2002. Müller’s episcopate was marked by reforms and struggles with several lay organizations such as Wir Sind Kirche and the Zentralkomitee der Deutschen Katholiken (ZdK). He resigned from his Seat in 2012 to become the Prefect for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith under Pope Benedict XVI. He performed this duty for one term of five years before he was released rather abruptly under Pope Francis. Association and Patronage Cardinal Müller has been closely associated with Pope Benedict XVI, receiving most of his major positions from him. Müller also took the motto “Dominus Jesus” “Lord Jesus” when he became a bishop. Dominus Jesus was the title of one of Pope Benedict XVI’s most important and controversial documents when he was Prefect for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Cardinal Müller has also been closely associated with Fr. Gustavo Gutiérrez, the father of liberation theology. Liberation theology is a very controversial tradition of theology due to its Marxist ties. Cardinal Müller even wrote a book with Fr. Gutiérrez on liberation theology, titled On the Side of the Poor: The Theology of Liberation. Issues of Sexual Abuse Cardinal Müller has had several issues of sexual abuse during his time as Bishop of Regensburg. Peter Kramer, a pedophile priest who had been arrested in 2000, was reinstated by Müller in 2004 in a different parish. Kramer then proceeded to continue his molestation and was arrested again in 2007. The other major case is that of the Regensburg Choir School, which had more than 600 cases of physical or sexual abuse. Müller was criticized for his failure to respond effectively to the situation. MÜLLER, Card. Gerhard 4 https://betterchurchgovernance.org/ Financial/Legal Issues Cardinal Müller, like all the bishops in Germany, is involved in the decree which bans the laity from most sacraments unless they are registered with the government and pay the Church Tax. Transparency Cardinal Müller did not implement any procedures to improve clarity and he has been accused of hindering clarity during the 2013 sexual abuse study. Theological Priorities and Initiatives Cardinal Müller is a longtime supporter of his friend Fr. Gustavo Gutiérrez who is the founder of the liberation theology movement as stated above. Cardinal Müller also has been a proponent of orthodox practices and teaching within the German Bishops’ Conference, reinstating ancient traditions, such as the Pfingstritt Eucharistic procession in Germany, and attempting to clarify matters of doctrine, such as his Glaubensmanifest or Manifesto of Faith. By all the evidence he is a sophisticated theologian, who is deeply engaged with both progressive and traditional branches of Catholic theology. MÜLLER, Card.

    Sacred Music and Liturgy Reform

    Rt. Reverend Johannes Overath President of CIMS INTRODUCTION In Cologne, in 1961, at the Fourth International Church Music Congress, it was suggested that the next international meeting be held in London. Meanwhile, on November 22, 1963, with the chirograph, Nobile subsidium liturgiae, His Holiness, Pope Paul VI, established the Consociatio Interna- tionalis Musicae Sacrae. One of the tasks entrusted to the newly organized society was that of arranging for international meetings of church musicians, continuing the series of congresses begun in Rome in the Holy Year, 1950, with subsequent assemblies in Vienna in 1954, Paris in 1957, and Cologne in 1961. The Holy Father named the first officers of CIMS on March 7, 1964, and they immediately made contact with a committee of the English hierarchy ac- cording to the proposal made at Cologne to hold the next congress in Lon don. After many conferences the conclusion was reached that "the time foi an international church music congress in London is not yet ripe," as His Excellency, Bishop Charles Grant, chairman of the committee appointed b} the hierarchy of England and Wales, wrote on November 5,1964. Since the first four congresses had taken place in Europe, and since the proposal had been expressed that an English-speaking country be the location of the next meeting, this course of action now suggested itself to the officers of CIMSr viz., to discuss the possibility of holding an international meeting in the United States. Therefore, in the spring of 1965, many discussions and conferences took place between the officers of CIMS and leading church mu- sicians in the United States, especially with the Rt.

There is the particularly tragic memory of Bishop Ernest Coba of Albania, murdered by prison authorities for celebrating a Mass with a few other inmates in his cell in contravention of prison regulations on Easter Day, 1979. In Czechoslovakia in 1988 there is the case of Augustin Navratil, a Catholic layman and father of nine, who has been involuntarily committed to a psychiatric clinic for responding to newspaper criticisms of his widely­ supported 31-point petition for religious rights.

    1 | Page This Is My Second Article on Pope Francis As Being The

    This is my second article on Pope Francis as being the Antichrist pope. My first article and video online about 2 years ago is entitled, "Pope Francis: the Antipope of History?" I used a question mark at that time, because I was exploring the possibility that he was an anti-pope, but now I'm definitely sure that he is. I feel that it is my duty as a Catholic to warn the whole world that Francis is an invalid pope, that Benedict was forced out against his will, even though he protests that he did this "in full freedom.'' Yet the fact remains that there is ample proof of his ouster. Archbishop Luigi Negri [now retired] of the Francis: A Communist Anti-pope "The Brown Bear [Russia] will manipulate the White Bear [Anti- Pope Francis]. Therefore, you must not permit the White Bear to take over the Seat of Peter by the assassination of John Paul II." - Our Lady at Bayside Vigil, December 24, 1979 archdicese of Ferrara-Comacchio, a friend of Pope Benedict, who has visited him "several times" since his resignation in February 2013, claims that Benedict resigned under "extreme pressure." There is a group of bishops and cardinals that had been meeting secretly since 1996 in the small cathedral town of Sankt-Gallen, Switzerland, to oppose the election of Cardinal Ratzinger to the papacy, and to throw its support behind Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, who wished to "modernize" the Church, just as they did. By "modernize," they meant to change Church teaching on such things as abortion and homosexuality, to allow Holy Communion administered to couples after divorce and remarriage outside the Church, etc; the first two are both sins crying to Heaven for vengeance, and condemned by the Church for two thousand years.

    Pope Francis and Liberation Theology Extended Essay

    Pope Francis and Liberation Theology Extended Essay – World Religions Candidate Number: kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk January 4, 2015 3,601 Words 1 ABSTRACT The essay will investigate the research question: Is Pope Francis a Liberation Theologian? The use of his biographies as well as other books and articles examining Liberation Theology will be used to complete the investigation. Pope Francis, the first pope in 1200 years from outside of Europe, has been accused by his critics of being a supporter of Liberation Theology. But he has also been accused of denouncing supporters of Liberation Theology to the civil authorities. In truth, Pope Francis (Cardinal Bergoglio) has a deep abiding love for the poor, but has no political leanings. His supporters suggest that Francis’ Jesuit training and his own experiences as a young priest in Chile are resulting in a focus on the poor, and greater inclusion of Third World peoples. Pope Francis’ service to the poor doesn’t over shadow his strong opposition to the violent teachings on Liberation Theologians, making him very different than those who developed the theology in the late 20th century. 161 Words 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ...................................................................................................................................................... 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS ..................................................................................................................................... 3 INTRODUCTION ............................................................................................................................................

    Presidential Address 1904-1984, Karl Rahner, Theologian

    PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS 1904-1984, KARL RAHNER, THEOLOGIAN During this past winter as I began remote preparations for my talk I read all the presidential addresses since the first. Although our society was conceived in Washington in 1945 and came to birth in New York in 1946, the first formal presidential address did not occur until 1953 at the eighth meeting when Monsignor John Fearns of Dunwoodie spoke of the theological productivity of Pope Pius XII. A presidential address does not then pertain to the esse of our Society, some might say not even to its bene esse. The addresses differed notably in length from seven pages to thirty-five, the longest that of Lawrence J. Riley prepared for 1960, a text that would have taken him two hours to deliver. Their literary genres varied considerably: a position paper on a subject dear to the president's heart; a report on the progress and future of the Society; or a comment on the state of theology. At least three of the presidents went on to become bishops, though I doubt that their addresses contributed much to that honor. At first my plan was to compare Catholic theology in the years 1904 and 1984, since 1904 was the year of birth for John Courtney Murray, Yves Congar, Bernard Lonergan, and Karl Rahner. I began reading what various theological journals were publishing that year. As the weeks advanced and my research progressed, I paused on March 5 to commemorate the eightieth birthday of Karl Rahner. When I heard the news from Innsbruck that Rahner had passed into eternal life on March 30, I decided then to devote this address to his life and work.
