Cardinal Muller speaks with Polish press about the Synod:" ... even bishops allowed themselves to be blinded..."

Nasz Dziennik, a major Polish media outlet, has carried an extensive interview 
with His Eminence, Gerhard Cardinal Muller, Prefect of the Congregation of the 
Doctrine of the Faith. The Cardinal is very open about the malign influence upon 
the Synod; yet equally firm that the teaching of the Church on Holy Communion 
for those civilly "remarried" is absolutely forbidden, as contrary to the Gospel; 
likewise is each and every homosexual act as contrary to nature as a grave sin. 

On the media: 

Unfortunately, in modern societies, various media, international organizations or 
even governments of various countries are trying to sow confusion in the minds of people. 
In many countries, relationships are destroyed, and this also applies to the Christian 
model of marriage and family. The truth about marriage and family is relativized. These 
trends also, unfortunately, have moved in some way into the Church and the bishops, upon 
which they [media] are trying to exert pressure.... We have Christ and the Gospel. This 
is our point of reference, the foundation for the proper and only teachings of the Church...

On marriage: 

There are a lot of media, but there is only one mediator, who is Jesus Christ and His 
Gospel. Therefore, the Word of God can never be ignored in any way and can not be 
compromised in any of its passages. It must be fully accepted. The Church, neither
before or during, or after the Synod can change what comes from the teaching of 
Christ. In regard to marriage is primarily define the words, "What God has joined 
together, let not man put asunder". 

On homosexuality:

Question: There were such voices that after the Synod of the Church entered the "way of 
the new opening to homosexuals." It sounds as if the church was going to stop calling 
homosexual acts a sin and condemn them?

Cardinal Muller: Of course, for the Church there is always the starting point of a relationship 
of love; of man to woman and woman to man. The Church focuses on this relationship and 
on it builds her social doctrine, including moral doctrine, which is also the whole science of 
human sexuality. There are situations that a person draws his sexuality  to a  person of the 
same sex. And this tendency itself is not a primary subject of the Church. 

The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that "homosexual persons are called to 
chastity." Pope Francis said he is not trying to create some new doctrine of the Church, but he 
is trying to show that no one is judged by the Church who has erred and has a homosexual tendency. No one is trying to cut off such people; they are still integrally people. But you 
have to say with clarity that the Church has judged negatively homosexual acts. An active 
part in the act of homosexuality is not acceptable! And the Church never with such an 
assessment does not give up. They are contrary to the natural law, and it is a sin.

On the bishops: 

Cardinal Muller: ...unfortunately, there are representatives of the Church, and even bishops 
who have allowed themselves to be somehow blinded by a secularized society in which they 
have been so influenced that it has drawn them away from the main topic or from the teachings 
of the Church based on revelation.

They began to think about the different possibilities, whether it is or it would be 
possible, forgetting about the foundation ... perhaps suggesting some questionable solutions 
in a matter of commitment in difficult situations in which people find themselves, perhaps 
guiding the desire to help another human being ... 

Everything is fine but you must always remember that there is one "agenda" for us, the agenda 
of the Church, which is based on the revelation of God communicated in Jesus Christ. And this 
is actually for us the most important, if it is lost, lost would be other aspects.
