Last month (May 2012), according to Cathcon's blog, Gerhard Müller, Bishop of Regensburg, was out of the running to replace Cardinal Levada at the CDF. Among the speculated reasons is his past hostility to the SSPX.
Today, Andrea Tornielli reports in La Stampa that the Pope is likely to choose the 64 year old Bishop of Regensburg, Gerhard Ludwig Müller, for the post of Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith., unless there are any last minute surprises.
This is the same Bishop who scoffs at the perpetual virginity of the Blessed Virgin, believes that it is problematic to refer to the Blessed Sacrament as the "body and blood" of Christ, and believes that Adam's father was a monkey.
Can you imagine the productive meetings the Society will have with him in his role as the new head of the CDF? How does one discuss ecumenism and religious liberty with a Cardinal who believes that Adam was begotten by an orangutan? How is it that this Primate will be appointed to defend the doctrine of the faith?
