Papal Notes - Kiss & Make Up?

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 2 Thessalonians 2:3


"Cardinal Gerhard Müller, the former prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), has
urged Pope Francis to “look for reconciliation” with his critic Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò.
Francis & Müller
Speaking to EWTN’s The World Over program, the German cardinal called on the Pope to “give answers to [his] accusations or questions”, saying: “The people of God have a right to know what happened.”

Archbishop Viganò, the former US nuncio, has accused Pope Francis of ignoring sanctions imposed on ex-cardinal Theodore McCarrick by Benedict XVI.
Cardinal Müller said that, while it is always possible for mistakes to be made, “we must learn from mistakes and we must become better in the prosecution of child and minor abuse”.
He said the Holy Father must work to preserve the unity of the Church and to overcome the divisions of the faithful.
The Pope must be a symbol of the unity of the Church. We must overcome, with the help of the Holy Father, the splitting of the Church between conservatives and so-called liberals. We are one Church united in the faith and not of conservative or liberal ideology.”
Cardinal Müller said he had heard “nothing” about the sanctions apparently imposed on McCarrick by Benedict XVI. But he said a canonical process must be initiated against the former cardinal."
