Vatican Cardinal Says a Church of Migration and Ecology Is ‘of Interest to No One’
Breitbart ^ | April 6, 2019 | THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D.

Posted on 04/06/2019 4:19:00 PM PDT by ebb tide

The highest-ranking African cardinal said this week that the Church risks becoming just another NGO if it focuses on “horizontal” issues like immigration and ecology rather than preaching Jesus Christ.

Some Catholic leaders urge the Church “not to speak about God, but to throw itself body and soul into social problems: migration, ecology, dialogue, the culture of encounter, the struggle against poverty, for justice and peace,” said Guinean Cardinal Robert Sarah in an interview this week with La Nef.

While all of these problems are, of course, important, “a Church such as this is of interest to no one,” said Sarah, who heads up the Vatican’s liturgical office.

Sarah should be the next pope, but we’re not that lucky or deserving.

Wow! I have heard of Cardinal Sarah, but this was the first time I have actually read at length any kind of statement or interview he has been involved in, and I am impressed.

‘As a bishop, it is my duty to warn the West’: An interview with Cardinal Sarah

I am a former Catholic, and what I have seen coming from the current Pope sickens and angers me.

This guy sound more along the lines of a John Paul II...I have to say, I was very impressed. His voice was the best thing I have heard out of the Catholic Church for some years.

Pray for mercy. There are still some good ones out there. How the Holy Spirit can get them into place, I have no idea, but that’s His job, not mine.

Yes, Cardinal Sarah is one of the best. I’d like to see Pope Benedict back in, and then Cardinal Sarah.

That was very impressive. Someone speaking the straight truth for the Church.

How is he regarded by The Vatican?

Some people say his resignation was invalid.

There is a rumor that, when he dies, faithful cardinals will convene a conclave to elect his successor.

It’s my belief Francis by his social engineering pontificating and attempts to equalize Islamic mono theistic claims of honoring the same deity is only encouraging the continuing attacks and murders of African and Asian Catholics as well as attacks elsewhere including Russia, France, even California and destruction of their churches. by Islamic followers.

This Pope by continuing doing so like decrying the sale of arms which Christian’s could use to defend themselves or warn the faithful not to proselytize or be “fundamental” to discourage such .Instead those comments are used by Islamists because they appear to support Islam’s mono theistic claims along with Francis refusal to condemn them or the theological Islamic claims when committing these atrocities .
It’s also leading to misguided conversions which is the result of my so called Pope playing games with this so called mono theistic cult and a serious fracture within Christianity and The Roman Rite .

“a Church such as this is of interest to no one,”

It's certainly not of interest to actual Catholics, or to anyone who is interested in the actual Catholic Faith.

The Sodomite Cabal has its own interests ...

**********************************************
Sadly, with Francis, the hater of Western Civilization and standard morality, being in office for years and promoting Cardinals of his kind to be positioned to select his successor, we will be seeing a never ending series of popes like Francis.

The Church is truly becoming just another leftist, anti-Western NGO. Cardinal Sarah is prescient and speaks the truth.

That cardinal shows real leadership, a brain, and a respect for the church.

In other words, totally opposite to Pope Che.
