Another Cardinal Comes to the Defense of the Four Cardinals and Their Dubia

The Wanderer, Maike Hickson: Cardinal Paul Josef Cordes, a retired Curial Cardinal and former head of the Pontifical Council Cor Unum, has now added his own voice to those voices supporting the Four Cardinals and their dubia as sent to the pope and now presented to the public. In an 12 December 2016 interview with Kath.net, an Austrian Catholic news website, Cordes defends the traditional moral teaching of the Church concerning marriage and the family. In her history, “the Church has never dismissed any central content [of Christ’s teaching and truth],” explains the German cardinal. Against the idea that the teaching may be changed, he argues: “How can the Church today claim reliability for a certain statement of Faith when another, former statement of Faith has no relevance any more and is considered now to be false?” Full interview is here.
