This is not a stupid power game like in the film Conclave. I only hope that the cardinals will not be influenced by reading the headlines. Francis has always been well regarded by the media and so there is a risk that someone will say: We must go on like this. The Pope must be orthodox. The question is not between conservatism and progressivism, but between orthodoxy and heresy. A heretical pope, who changed direction every day depending on what the media said, would be catastrophic.

Additional quotes by Gerhard Ludwig Müller

A chapter in the history of the Church has come to a close. When it comes to his pontificate, opinions vary. There is unanimous appreciation for Francis' commitment to migrants, the poor and overcoming divisions between the centre and the periphery; on the other hand, however, he has been somewhat ambiguous at times, for example when he spoke to Eugenio Scalfari about resurrection. With Pope Benedict XVI, we had perfect theological clarity, but everyone has their own charisma and abilities, and I think Pope Francis had more of these in the social sphere.

In reality, "Body and Blood of Christ" do not mean the material components of the man Jesus during His lifetime or in His transfigured corporeality. Rather, body and blood here mean the presence of Christ in the sign of the medium of bread and wine, which [presence] is made communicable in the here and now of sense-bound human perception.

Un capitolo della storia della Chiesa è stato chiuso. Se parliamo del pontificato, ci sono diverse opinioni. È unanime l’apprezzamento per l'impegno di Francesco con i migranti, i poveri e per superare le divisioni tra il centro e la periferia; dall’altra parte, però, in alcuni momenti è stato un po’ ambiguo, ad esempio quando con Eugenio Scalfari ha parlato di resurrezione. Con papa Benedetto abbiamo avuto la chiarezza teologica perfetta, ma ognuno ha i suoi carismi e le sue capacità e penso che papa Francesco li avesse più nella dimensione sociale.
