The big story of the past seven days
✣ Cardinal Müller issues ‘manifesto’ on Church teaching
What happened?
Cardinal Gerhard Müller has published a “manifesto” attempting to set out Church teachings. The cardinal, until 2017 the Vatican’s top doctrinal official, said there was “growing confusion about the doctrine of the Faith”. He affirmed that the Catholic Church is the “instrument of salvation”, that heaven and hell are eternal, and that moral teaching is essential to the path of salvation. He also said that the divorced and remarried cannot receive Communion if in a sexual relationship.
