Pope shakes up Vatican by replacing conservative doctrinal chief

In a major shake up of the Vatican's administration on Saturday, Pope
Francis replaced Catholicism's top theologian, a conservative German
cardinal who has been at odds with the pontiff's vision of a more inclusive
Church.

A brief Vatican statement said Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Mueller's five-year
mandate as head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, a key
department charged with defending Catholic doctrine, would not be renewed.

Mueller, 69, who was appointed by former Pope Benedict in 2012, will be
succeeded by the department's number two, Archbishop Luis Francisco Ladaria
Ferrer.

Ladaria, a 73-year-old Spaniard who, like the Argentine pope is a member of
the Jesuit order, is said by those who know him to be a soft-spoken person
who shuns the limelight. Mueller, by contrast, often appears in the media.

"They speak the same language and Ladaria is someone who is meek. He does
not agitate the pope and does not threaten him," said a priest who works in
the Vatican and knows both Mueller and Ladaria, asking not to be named.

Since his election in 2013, Francis has given hope to progressives who want
him to forge ahead with his vision for a more welcoming Church that
concentrates on mercy rather than the strict enforcement of rigid rules
they see as antiquated.

Mueller is one of several cardinals in the Vatican who have publicly
sparred with the pope.

In 2015 he was among 13 cardinals who signed a secret letter to the pope
complaining that a meeting of bishops discussing family issues was stacked
in favor of liberals. The letter was leaked, embarrassing the signatories.

"Clearly, the pope and Cardinal Mueller have not been on the same page for
five years," the priest said.

Mueller has criticized parts of a 2016 papal treatise called "Amoris
Laetitia" (The Joy of Love), a cornerstone document of Francis' attempt to
make the 1.2 billion-member Church more inclusive and less condemning.

In it, Francis called for a Church that is less strict and more
compassionate towards any "imperfect" members, such as those who divorced
and remarried, saying "no one can be condemned forever".

Conservatives have concentrated their criticism on the document's opening
to Catholics who divorce and remarry in civil ceremonies, without getting
Church annulments.

Under Church law they cannot receive communion unless they abstain from sex
with their new partner, because their first marriage is still valid in the
eyes of the Church and therefore they are seen to be living in an
adulterous state of sin.

In the document the pope sided with progressives who had proposed an
"internal forum" in which a priest or bishop decide jointly with the
individual on a case-by-case basis if he or she can be fully re-integrated
and receive communion.

After the document was published Catholic bishops in some countries,
including Germany, enacted guidelines on how priests could allow some
divorced and remarried Catholics to receive the sacraments.

But Mueller has said there should be no exceptions, making him a hero to
conservatives who have made the issue a rallying point for their opposition
to Francis.

The Advertising Game (For the rest of the article, please go to

Do companies seek to mislead us with their advertisements ? How far will
they go to convince us to buy their products? Walter Vieira, Chairman of
the Consumer Education and Research Centre, spoke about consumer awareness
and protection at the International Centre Goa.
"‘The cheating that is going on in the country…with products, with
services, with what have you, has reached phenomenal proportions,’ says Mr
Vieira."
