Cardinal Sarah: "Too much gender and climate, the Church should speak of Christ". "The West is governed by people without children who do not know what a family is".

The African cardinal was a guest of the Movimento per la Vita: "The West is governed by people without children who do not know what a family is".

"The Church should rediscover its doctrine and remain faithful to it". This is the appeal that Guinean Cardinal Robert Sarah wanted to spread during the presentation of his book "Does God exist?". In front of the audience in the Aula Magna of the Archbishopric of Trento (the meeting was organized by the Movimento per la Vita), the former Archbishop of Conakry recently appointed by Leo XIV as "special envoy" to France, harshly criticized the West: "Today we live in a difficult moment – ​​he declared – in defense of the sacredness of life, we cannot continue to allow the powerful of this world to dictate inhuman agendas. We must be wary of the new globalist ethic of the UN, we must be wary of gender ideology and its continuous promotion because it makes no sense to uselessly mutilate a body created by God. Those who govern today in the West do not know what a family is, what a child is. Let us think about what several of the founding countries of the European Union are doing, from France where abortion has become a constitutional right to Belgium and the Netherlands where homosexual marriage is legal. The flame of Christianity is dying out in the West because we depend on the will of these countries". Sarah then also invited the Church "not to change" and to remain anchored to its doctrine: "Climate change, democracy, welcoming migrants, peace, freedom are all important issues - continues the Cardinal -. But we must ask ourselves if this is really the mandate that Christ entrusted to the Church. The Church must not change, it must not change its teachings and its doctrine, it must not become a human, horizontal society that speaks a media language, because such a Church does not interest anyone. A legacy like that of the Church cannot be squandered: we must rediscover how to celebrate the Eucharist with sacredness, we need worshippers who do not see the Holy Mass as a simple cultural exhibition or a social assembly in which to celebrate themselves. We do not need new currents or innovations, we do not need to invent anything, we need a doctrine capable of growing and developing organically like a child in its mother's womb. Christianity is the way".

Positions in contrast with those carried forward in the last decade under the pontificate of Pope Francis: it is no coincidence that in his speeches Sarah mentioned several of the most recent pontiffs but never the Argentine one. Specifically, speaking of "his" Africa, the cardinal referred to the statements of Paul VI, the first Pope to visit the continent in 1969 in Uganda: "He said that Africa was the new homeland of Christ and he said it not to journalists, but during the liturgy - concludes Sarah - His hope was that Catholicism could be reborn in this continent. Africa for me is a mother and no one can live without his mother: we must all love her and pray so that the Church, in Africa, may be a light for the world in these difficult times in which the West, by destroying the family, is destroying society".
