(LifeSiteNews) — Cardinal Gerhard Müller has said that many bishops and cardinals favor President Donald Trump but are afraid to say it publicly.

In an interview with Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, the former head of the Congregation (now Dicastery) for the Doctrine of the Faith said that he “personally prefer[s] Donald Trump to Joe Biden.”

When asked why that is, despite Trump being a Protestant and Biden a Catholic, he answered: “Better a good Protestant than a bad Catholic.”

He added that “many cardinals and bishops think like me, even if they are afraid to say so. And in the United States, the percentage is even higher.”
