Sunday September 22 is the publication date for the English translation of Cardinal Robert Sarah’s book, The Day Is Now Far Spent. Cardinal Sarah describes this as his most important book. It argues that much of the West has forgotten its past: “This self-suffocation naturally leads to a decadence that opens the path to new, barbaric civilisations.”
