Pope pushes out German hardliner, choses new doctrine chief
Pope Francis on Saturday pushed out a Vatican’s regressive doctrine chief, drumming a emissary instead to lead a absolute assemblage that handles sex abuse cases and guarantees Catholic habit around a world.
Francis and German Cardinal Gerhard Mueller had clashed, many recently over a pope’s discreet opening to vouchsafing civilly remarried Catholics to accept Communion. Mueller had insisted they cannot, given church training on a indissolubility of marriage.
The Jesuit pope instead tapped a No. 2 in a Congregation for a Doctrine of a Faith, Jesuit Monsignor Luis Ladaria Ferrer, to attain Mueller.
Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI had tapped Mueller, his associate German countryman, to lead a assemblage in 2012 .
The larger strife between Mueller and a pope endangered Francis’ divisive 2016 request on family life “The Joy of Love,” in that he used strategically placed footnotes to offer a discreet opening to vouchsafing divorced and civilly remarried Catholics accept Communion.
