Without faith in Christ, Europe becomes 'a lifeless body' ripe for takeover by its ‘strongest neighbor,’ Cardinal Gerhard Müller warned amid Islamic migration and ‘Orwellian’ globalism.
(LifeSiteNews) — Cardinal Gerhard Müller has warned that the West is threatened by Islamic migration and “Orwellian” globalist elites and will not survive without a return to Christianity.
In an essay published by kath.net, the German cardinal detailed the political and religious problems the West is facing and traced them to their philosophical roots in the anti-Christian Enlightenment.
He said the Western world cannot survive without the Christian faith because “the West is nothing other than the cultural community of the Germanic and Slavic tribes and nations, which emerged from the legacy of the Western Roman Empire and are united in their faith in Christ, the Son of God and universal Savior of humanity.”
“Thus, Europe is Christianity in its synthesis with Greek metaphysics and the Roman will for order according to the principle of justice – that is, the will to give to each his due: suum cuique (Ulpian) or, to put it theologically, the inviolable dignity of every human being as the image and likeness of God.”
“Outside of this definition, Europe loses its formative soul and becomes a lifeless body that, like an ownerless territory, falls into the hands of the nearest and strongest neighbor,” he argued.
Citing the late Pope Francis, Müller said that “we are already in the midst of a Third World War, in stages.” Explaining, he said:
If we consider the global context, we see civil wars, the collapse of the rule of law in many states, the Orwellian surveillance state envisioned by Brussels (the Digital Services Act, the bureaucratic erasure of national identities), the migration of millions who can no longer be integrated into Europe but instead establish competing Islamic societies, hunger and poverty affecting half of humanity, global terrorism perpetrated by criminal gangs and rogue states alongside organized crime, the unstable political conditions in traditional democracies falling into the hands of globalist elites with their project for a One World entirely under their control – a Brave New World à la Aldous Huxley (1922).
“Only the conceit of Western superiority remains alive,” Müller mused. “Should our secularism and materialism – as in the days of colonialism – be imposed as a panacea on the supposedly backward East and South, under the motto: Development aid only on the condition of legalizing same-sex marriage and the killing of children in the womb, euthanasia, and assisted suicide – and all of this for the sake of drastically reducing the population due to climate protection and the scarcity of material resources?”
