EXCLUSIVE: Cardinals must beware of ‘anti-Christian’ world when choosing a new pope

As the Church faces deepening crises, Cardinal Gerhard Müller told LifeSiteNews that, at the next concalve, the cardinals must not look for a pope in the image of his predecessor, but rather a true successor of St. Peter who upholds Christ’s teachings without compromise.

VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Members of the College of Cardinals need to reflect deeply on the “anti-Christian” nature of the world and the situation of the Church when electing a new pope, said the former head of the Vatican’s doctrinal office.

“I hope that there is in the College of Cardinals a deeper reflection about the condition and the situation of faith and the Church in this post-Christian, or anti-Christian world, the Western world,” said Gerhard Cardinal Müller.
