“Calling them enemies of the Pope only shows an un-Christian spirit”, he said.
“What the Pope’s position is in the Catholic faith is not determined by ideologies.
“I propose a respectful dialogue between grown up men. The ordination are appointed by Christ himself to be shepherds of the Church and to treat each other like brothers.”
Burke is an outspoken critic of the Pope and was fired as the Vatican’s high court justice in 2014.
An insider claimed the Pope made the move because he was a source of “disunity” in the Church.
The conservative American had always defended his actions as being of service to the church and the papacy.
He remained steadfast in the believe that it was his obligation as a cardinal and bishop to uphold church teaching and correct errors.
Cardinal Müller also claimed Jesus would go to prison due to his views on man and woman.
Speaking on GB News, His Eminence told Jacob Rees-Mogg that God “created male and female” as he spoke on the emergence of transsexuality.
“I believe that today, Jesus would not be condemned only because he is a Messiah”, he said.
“He would in Canada or the United States or European countries go to prison because he spoke out the truth about the marriage between a man and a woman.”
