Cardinal Sarah’s Warning To The West: Do Not Abandon Your Civilization’s Heritage…

The election of the next Pope may be augur of whether the drawn-out suicide of the West continues unrestrained or can be at least bridled to some degree.
Cardinal Robert Sarah: “As a bishop, it is my duty to warn the West”
…
The spiritual crisis involves the entire world. But its source is in Europe. People in the West are guilty of rejecting God. They have not only rejected God. Friedrich Nietzsche, who may be considered the spokesman of the West, has claimed: “God is dead! God remains dead! And we have killed him…” We have murdered God. In view of God’s death among men, Nietzsche would replace him with a prophetic “Superman.”
The spiritual collapse thus has a very Western character. In particular, I would like to emphasize the rejection of fatherhood. Our contemporaries are convinced that, in order to be free, one must not depend on anybody. There is a tragic error in this. Western people are convinced that receiving is contrary to the dignity of human persons. But civilized man is fundamentally an heir, he receives a history, a culture, a language, a name, a family. This is what distinguishes him from the barbarian.
To refuse to be inscribed within a network of dependence, heritage, and filiation condemns us to go back naked into the jungle of a competitive economy left to its own devices. Because he refuses to acknowledge himself as an heir, man is condemned to the hell of liberal globalization in which individual interests confront one another without any law to govern them besides profit at any price.
I want to suggest to Western people that the real cause of this refusal to claim their inheritance and this refusal of fatherhood is the rejection of God. From Him we receive our nature as man and woman. This is intolerable to modern minds.
Gender ideology is a Luciferian refusal to receive a sexual nature from God. Thus some rebel against God and pointlessly mutilate themselves in order to change their sex. But in reality they do not fundamentally change anything of their structure as man or woman. The West refuses to receive, and will accept only what it constructs for itself. Transhumanism is the ultimate avatar of this movement. Because it is a gift from God, human nature itself becomes unbearable for western man.

No way they let him become pope

Sounds like he reads Romans 1.

Can only pray Trump changes course on H1Bs, and finds a way to send all people back. Not just from down south, but around the world. Refugees and H1Bs.
Though it mostly depends on the birthright decision. Hopefully ACB reads this.

Never heard of this person, but his honesty, bravery and wisdom is such that I'd put him in the possible 'antichrist' category, who will have all of those characteristics. Albeit I'd be happy so see him take the reins of the RCC.

The following passage — on the rise of the twin threats of atheism and Islam in Europe — is another dose of concentrated Truth.
Yet despite the dire warnings, as a follower of Christ, of course Cardinal Sarah’s warning ends on a promising note.
First I would like to explain why I, a son of Africa, allow myself to address the West. The Church is the guardian of civilization. I am convinced that western civilization is passing at present through a mortal crisis. It has reached the extreme of self-destructive hate. As during the fall of Rome, elites are only concerned to increase the luxury of their daily life and the peoples are being anesthetized by ever more vulgar entertainment. As a bishop, it is my duty to warn the West!
The barbarians are already inside the city. The barbarians are all those who hate human nature, all those who trample upon the sense of the sacred, all those who do not value life, all those who rebel against God the Creator of man and nature. The West is blinded by science, technology, and the thirst for riches. The lure of riches, which liberalism spreads in hearts, has sedated the peoples. At the same time, the silent tragedy of abortion and euthanasia continue and pornography and gender ideology destroy children and adolescents. We are accustomed to barbarism. It doesn’t even surprise us anymore! I want to raise a cry of alarm, which is also a cry of love. I do so with a heart full of filial gratitude for the Western missionaries who died in my land of Africa and who communicated to me the precious gift of faith in Jesus Christ. I want to follow their lead and receive their inheritance!
How could I not emphasize the threat posed by Islamism? Muslims despise the atheistic West. They take refuge in Islamism as a rejection of the consumer society that is offered to them as a religion. Can the West present them the Faith in a clear way? For that it will have to rediscover its Christian roots and identity. To the countries of the third world, the West is held out as a paradise because it is ruled by commercial liberalism. This encourages the flow of migrants, so tragic for the identity of peoples. A West that denies its faith, its history, its roots, and its identity is destined for contempt, for death, and disappearance.
But I would like to point out that everything is prepared for a renewal. I see families, monasteries, and parishes that are like oases in the middle of a desert. It is from these oases of faith, liturgy, beauty, and silence that the West will be reborn.

I know a Black Priest from Nigeria, and he is a legit tough guy, not a fake lovey-dovey guy, and straight up won't back down. But very amiable with a big smile. I really love him, and he knows it.
I hear that Jesus said that re his 'second coming' he will "not bring peace, but a sword". I think it is the Truth, and Pilate's age-old question "what is truth" that will be the impetus for said sword and extraordinary strife. It will take strong men and women to weather the coming storm and overcome. With the Good Lord's help of course.

Amen Cardinal Sarah.

Our civilization is in peril because we forgot what made us special in the first place. Unity of ideas, principles, a common law and common purpose.
This idea that we’re supposed to be the “melting pot” is ahistorical. Up until 1965, the US and much of the west had been very selective about the type of people they admitted into the country. White Europeans integrated the best, but even the Irish took decades to fully assimilate. Since the 1960s, we have opened ourselves to the whole world and now we have no unifying culture. We can’t even agree on a language to speak, so that makes dialogue impossible from the start.
Christianity, individualism, the rule of law, free enterprise are what made the west the most successful civilization in history.

Basically telling Western Civilization, if you fail, we all fail. Most of the rest of the world can't live without West leadership (increasingly archaic) our ethos and moral compass and Biblical generosity....despite what they're brainwashing the yearlings in education, Western Civilization is not Earth's Bogeyman.
