Leo XIV in address to the Spanish Cortes Generales (Parliament) and in front of abortion-obsessed Prime Minister Sánchez: “If life ceases to be recognized as a fundamental value, what future can our societies have? Can a community that leaves in the shadows the child not yet born, the elderly person, the sick, those who suffer in silence, or those who depend entirely on the care of others truly be called fully just? The defense of human life is not a matter of particular or confessional interest: it is a goal of civilization. Every human life must be recognized and safeguarded from conception until its natural sunset, in every circumstance of its existence. When this certainty grows dim, the most vulnerable are the first victims, and the law loses its deepest meaning: to serve and protect every person. For this reason, the moral greatness of a nation is manifested, above all, in its ability to accompany, protect, and love those lives marked by greater fragility."
His remarks were met with a standing ovation.
(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:
“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?”
