ROME, May 30, 2019 (LifeSiteNews.com) — Italy’s rising political star, Matteo Salvini, has been refused audiences
with Pope Francis and has been denounced as not being Christian by the
pope’s allies for opposing free immigration to Italy. Paradoxically, he
is also blasted by the Francis regime for using Christian symbolism
during his rallies. However, Cardinal Gerhard Müller, Pope Francis
former doctrine chief, says the Church should engage with Salvini and
those who reject free immigration and believes that the politician is
returning to the “Christian roots” of the European Union in his use of
religious symbols.
In an interview published yesterday following the landslide victory
of Salvini’s party in E.U. parliamentary elections, Müller denounced the
attacks against Salvini by Pope Francis’s partisans as “amateurish” and
inappropriate.
“An ecclesiastical authority cannot speak about theological issues in an amateurish way,” said Müller to Italy’s Corriere della sera
newspaper. “And above all he must not meddle in politics when there is a
democratically legitimated parliament and government, as in Italy. It
would be better to talk to Salvini, discuss, or correct it when
necessary.”
