German Cardinal Gerhard Müller said many prelates privately support Donald Trump but fear speaking out, adding that Trump upholds ‘natural law values’ better than Catholic President Joe Biden.
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.”
Müller also talked about Brian Burch, the founder of CatholicVote and newly appointedU.S. ambassador to the Holy See.
“I’ve been told that Burch is a good Catholic,” the German cardinal said. “And Trump will help the Church because he represents natural law values: the inviolability of life, the importance of marriage, religious freedom.”
“And he pursues the idea of a state that does not meddle in every area of life. Even on immigrants, one has to distinguish. If he sends criminals away, that’s good. If he expels them as foreigners, no,” Müller added.
