El cardenal Müller recuerda que «los obispos son pastores de las almas», no guardianes de la democracia

In brief

Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller, the former prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, stated that bishops serve as pastors of souls rather than guardians of democracy.

Müller questioned the actions of certain German bishops who have commented on voting for the Alternative for Germany (AfD) political party. He argued that a pastor's spiritual authority should not be used to help or harm any specific political party.
