The former head of the “Office Formerly Known as Holy,” (that office which is arguably the “second in command” over the whole Church), and a man who has characterised synodality as a “hostile takeover” urged his brother Cardinals to respond to the SSPX. This was reported by Italian media and translated by Miss Diane Montagna here.
Schism Rocks the Consistory: “We must respond to the Lefebvrists”
by Nico Spuntoni
Müller immediately shakes up the Consistory: “We must respond to the Lefebvrists.” He also proposes a new Ecclesia Deito receive those who break away. The inside story in @ilgiornale.
Leo XIV had asked the cardinals to speak candidly. Some took him at his word. As we can reveal, although the agenda made no mention of the imminent schism involving the Lefebvrists, one cardinal took it upon himself, on the very first day of the Consistory to point out the elephant in the room: the Society of St. Pius X’s open challenge to Rome.
