God is the greatest liberal claims No 3 in Catholic Churc
Catholic Church Conservation ^ | 10 July 2012 | Cathcon

Posted on 07/09/2012 4:28:17 PM PDT by Gillibrand

Relaxed and at ease, Archbishop Gerhard Ludwig Müller returns a week after his appointment as prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to the Diocese of Regensburg. A series of interviews for journalists are on the agenda for Friday: liberation theology, the SSPX and the situation of divorced and remarried. Minefields for an ecclesiastic, who has moved to third place in the Vatican's ecclesiastical pecking order.

Archbishop Mueller, first of all, congratulations on the new job. Since when did you know about your appointment?

I definitely knew it on 16 May, when the Holy Father has summoned me to his presence.

Did your commitment to the liberation theology endangers your appointment?

I do not know. If you know the Catholic faith, we know that to her essentially belong the social obligation, the responsibility for the world, the love of the poor. Liberation theology is a big word - but every Christian theology has something to do with the freedom of man. Also in South America in this context, it is about theological questions: Given the misery and indignity that many people around us can not imagine, given this glaring injustice, we can not simply go away with a pious raising of eyebrows about it. Faith and doing good go together. These are the two sides of a coin.

Are you then in agreement with the Pope?

“...can still recite “the sucipiot”.

.
No you can’t — it is the sucipiAt.

Perhaps you should go back to basics and recite the Confiteor.

I believe that all of that history is rooted in some degree of fact...that whole leap to God’s son is where I’m having some continuity issues.

maybe I should...good lord, I spelled it wrong...but I CAN still recite it. Give me a phone number and I’ll call you and recite it.

Oh Great. Thanks a lot. Now everyone will know. You were supposed to keep this type of info under your hat.

Does God love homosexuality and abortion, the key tenets of liberalism?

I think not.....or Sodom and Gomorrah would still be around.

“....I agree that Jesus is the greatest liberal ever.”

.
Nope.

I don’t think that there is one liberal in the whole world who is willing to be crucified for the truth.

To a liberal, the truth goes into many different directions simultaneously.

I don’t know, I wasn’t there. The only info I have is over 2000 years old.

Agnostic means you are not sure whether God exists.

Actually, that is not quite what it means, if we are going by 'definition'. If we are going by YOUR understanding, then at least make that clear.

Possibly you could achieve more by asking Agnostic what he means by the term, instead of trying to tell him what it means.

Um, my question was not how moral you are. My question was what sequence of logic determines for you the right way to live when you are uncertain whether God exists. I don’t mean to be a pest, and if you don’t want to answer, that’s fine. It’s up to you.

Peace,

SR

OOPS. Don’t know how I did it, but I put AGNOSTIC in the TO: line and apparently someone is a FR user named AGNOSTIC.

My apologies, I meant to have GORUSH in the TO: line of post 49.

God exists or he doesn’t. I deal with the evidence available...and I just don’t know in spite of my extensive efforts...and I’m happy to respond.

Obviously you didn’t read what I said.

Good luck.

Ah, so you're the one I should trust.

As one of our greatest presidents said, "trust but verify."

At MOST, only one of them would be right. Seems pretty presumptuous to me.

No, not presumptuous. Western civilization, based upon Judeao-Christian tenets, has accomplished more in 2000 years (by any/all measures), than all belief systems in 10,000 years combined.

Again, I wish you well on your journey.

We’re speaking about the same tomb.

I know. I was just pulling your leg, mainly because you all jumped on GORUSH because he said he's agnostic.

I get the impression 'you all' don't really understand what the term 'agnostic' means.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

My understanding of the term is, of course, what I use. I just don’t know if there is, or is not, a god...or God, if you like. I mean no disrespect. I’d like to know but I don’t. But then, I hold myself to very strict logical standards.

What about the creation of the universe—an event during which the laws of physics as we know them were nonexistent.

This seems just as strange or unusual as the history of God’s Son.

"All students of history necessarily trust that which others have seen"

Considering there is much disagreement about 'history', logic says no once source is probably 'the absolute truth'. Better to sort the wheat from the chaff for yourself.

"What about the creation of the universe"

A self avowed agnostic is a strange person to pose that question to.

I am searching for the truth as much as, or more, than the next guy.

I could give you the answer, but you won't like it. Believe me.
