Archbishop Stanislaw Gadecki gave a outline of Robert Cardinal Sarah's intervention on his Polish language blog. Here is my summary of his entry as you will not be hearing or reading about this from the Holy See Press Office.
Firstly, the Archbishop noted that his colleague, Archbishop Henry Hoser was deeply impressed with the theological and intellectual depth of Cardinal Sarah's intervention.
Cardinal Sarah outlined two main, immediate global threats against humanity. A dictatorship of moral relativism that is especially reflected in gender ideology, and Islamic fanaticism, as reflected in the various jihadi movement, especially the islamic State.
The Cardinal compared these two ideologies to the totalitarian expressions of the twentieth century; communism and fascism. Moral relativism, according to the Cardinal, breaks down the family and leads to the loss of true humanity. Contrasting with gender ideology which flows from moral relativism, Islamic fanaticism leads to the terrible abuse of the human person.
From Gender ideology flows euthanasia, abortion, homosexuality; leading to ruthless practices depriving man of his human dignity. "His was not the voice of a prophet of doom, but a voice that flowed from the deep need of the awareness that we know how to react to such events", was Archbishop Hoser's comment as recorded by Archbishop Gadecki.
Yup.
Cardinal Robert Sarah speaks at the Synod: gender ideology and Islamism are the two greatest threats to the world
To:
"The most serious of the evils that afflict the world these days are youth unemployment and the loneliness of the old." Francis, Bishop of Rome.
>> A dictatorship of moral relativism
What an apt description.

Cdl Sarah is wonderful! I’m praying for him, and so should we all.
And he was right: the Western leftist sex obsession is one threat, and the Muslim threat is the threat on the other side.
And we’re caught in the middle with an antipope.
Cdl Sarah is absolutely right. I’m hoping he’ll be the next Pope if there’s anything left standing after Francis gets done with it,
Does he mean the Muslim faith or does he mean so-called “Radical Islam”?
