Gerhard Cardinal Müller: Pope Francis Is Ultra Vires

. . .“A synod of the bishops is not an Ecumenical Council.  It has no authority.  Even if the pope is speaking about authority, it is not magisterial authority.  The Pope Cannot Change the Basic Constitution of the Church.  He cannot give a new definition of the primacy of the bishop of Rome or what bishops are to do”. . .
