Cardinal Sarah Urges Synod to Reject Liberal Agenda

Condemning liberal Western ideologues in the same breath as his denunciations of ISIS and Boko Haram, Cardinal Robert Sarah, from a truly poor African Church in Guinea, stands as a very Catholic bastion against the doctrinal evolutionism and moral turpitude of the innovators. God bless him, and may Our Lady continue to give him strength.

ROME, June 11, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – “What Nazi-Fascism and Communism were in the 20th century, Western homosexual and abortion ideologies and Islamic fanaticism are today.” So spoke Cardinal Robert Sarah in a blistering opening speech at the synod last week, now made public, in which the Guinean Cardinal identifies the greatest modern enemies of the family as the twin “demonic” “apocalyptic beasts” of “the idolatry of Western freedom” and “Islamic fundamentalism.”

In a recent interview with Aleteia, Sarah also expressed grave concerns about the manipulation of the Synod towards a liberalizing “agenda they are trying to impose,” while in his speech in the Synod hall he expressed misgivings at the way the Synod has been conducted.

The African Cardinal said that “in the previous Synod, on various issues one sensed the temptation to yield to the mentality of the secularized world and individualistic West.” In particular, he criticized some of the procedures which organizers put in place, which he said seemed “to promote a way of seeing typical of certain fringe groups of the wealthiest churches.”
