The rise of radical Islam and the relentless spread of gender ideology are two unlikely allies in the attack upon the sanctity of life and God, according to one prominent Vatican cardinal. Both “gender ideology and Islamic fundamentalism” are “apocalyptic beasts” which seek to destroy the family, humanity and the image of God, Cardinal Robert Sarah said this week at the European Parliament.
“The crisis of the Church in the West and the crisis of the West itself are, at heart, one and the same crisis,” attested the cardinal during an address he gave at the European Parliament on Wednesday afternoon. “It is because the Church in many European nations has lost its identity, its prophetic voice, that the West itself has lost the meaning of its own civilisation.”
