Cardinal Gerhard Müller, former Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, has issued one of his strongest criticisms yet of the Synod on Synodality.
In a foreword to a new book, The Trojan Horse in the Catholic Church, written by the pseudonymous “Father Enoch”, the German prelate warns that the synodal process represents an attempt to reshape the Catholic Church according to secular and democratic ideals.
Cardinal Müller, who participated in both the 2023 and 2024 sessions of the Synod on Synodality in Rome, writes that he witnessed first-hand how the process had been “used as a means to undermine the hierarchical-sacramental structure of the Church and replace it with an inverted pyramid of governance”.
