Meanwhile, in Brussels

Post by temporal1 »

For years, Cardinal Sarah has been trying to warn Europeans about many problems ..

2026 / “Sarah denounces the Church's drift: «It is not an NGO, it has forgotten its mission»”
https://infovaticana.com/en/2026/04/03/ ... s-mission/
In an interview given to the program Le Club Le Figaro Idées, Cardinal Robert Sarah has offered an uncompromising diagnosis of the situation of the Church and the West. The African cardinal warns of a deep crisis of faith in Europe, denounces the reduction of the Church to a social organization, and emphasizes that without God, Western societies are doomed to disappear.

The West, a civilization that has forgotten Christ
Cardinal Sarah expressed his main concern about the spiritual evolution of the West. In his view, the societies that for centuries transmitted the Gospel have stopped considering Jesus Christ as a vital reference.

“We have the impression that the West is no longer interested in Christ,” he stated, warning of a loss of identity that puts at risk not only Europe but also the young Churches. Even so, he recalled that the Church will not disappear: Christ remains with it until the end of time.

“The Church is not an NGO”
One of the central axes of the interview was his criticism of the Church’s drift toward exclusively social issues:

“It gives the impression that for some time now the Church only talks about ecological change, migrants, peace… But the Church is not an NGO! It is not the role of the Church to speak only about social issues. It must put man in relation to God”

For Sarah, when the Church loses its orientation toward God, it stops fulfilling its essential mission.

A “too noisy” liturgy centered on man
The cardinal also denounced the current state of the liturgy, pointing out a loss of the sense of the sacred:

“The Church has damaged the liturgy of the Mass. It is too noisy! It is as if we were celebrating ourselves. It has become a moment of fellowship, when we are there to worship God; we need a liturgy that worships God. We no longer speak of salvation or the soul!”

In his view, the liturgy has stopped leading to God to focus on man. .. ..

i’m perfectly comfortable with an older, wiser, more docile Trump.
