In this powerful book by the acclaimed spiritual leader and
best-selling writer, one he calls his "most important", he analyzes
the profound spiritual, moral and political crisis in the
contemporary world. He says that he "considers that the
decadence of our time has all the faces of mortal peril."
"At the root of the collapse of the West, there is a cultural
identity crisis. The West no longer knows who it is, because
it no longer knows and does not want to know who made
it, who established it, as it was and as it is. Many countries
today ignore their own history. This self-suffocation naturally
leads to a decadence that opens the path to new, barbaric
civilizations."
In these words, Cardinal Sarah summarizes the theme of his
book. His finding is simple: our world is on the brink of the
abyss. Crisis of faith and of the Church, decline of the West,
betrayal by its elites, moral relativism, endless globalism,
unbridled capitalism, new ideologies, political exhaustion,
movements inspired by Islamist totalitarianism.... The time
has come for an unflinching diagnosis.
While making clear the gravity of the crisis through which
the West has gone, the Cardinal demonstrates that it is possible
to avoid the hell of a world without God, a world without
man, a world without hope.
After the great international success of his first two books,
God or Nothing and The Power of Silence, Cardinal Sarah
offers a wide-ranging reflection on the crisis of the contemporary
world while teaching many important spiritual lessons.
