Pope deals with unrest

-

A CARDINAL who was sacked from a senior Vatican post by Pope Francis has written a “Manifesto of Faith”.

Cardinal Gerhard Mueller, 71, who was the Vatican’s doctrinal chief until 2017, issued the manifesto via conservati­ve Catholic media outlets.

Conservati­ves baulked last week when Francis made the first trip by a pope to the Arabian peninsula and signed a “Document on Human Fraternity” with a Muslim faith leader. Ultraconse­rvative Catholics are opposed to dialogue with Islam.
