Socci: Cdl. "Muller did not respond... that Benedict XVI is no longer the Pope... [like] Ganswein [he said] - [it is] a Sort of 'Shared Ministry'"
Antonio Socci in his new book said these "are remarkable words... at the time, the highest doctrinal authority in the Church. [Cardinal Gerhard] Muller did not respond... that Benedict XVI is no longer the pope." Moreover, in his book he says Muller used "the categories employed by Archbishop Georg Ganswein - a sort of 'shared ministry.'" Finally, Socci quotes Muller to backup his assertion. Muller said: "[W]hat unites them [Benedict and Francis] is the Petrine ministry. They exercise an office together..." "... Benedict and Francis... dedicate themselves fully to the mission of the successor of Peter." (The Secret of Benedict XVI, Pages 96-97) Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church.
