Proceed with Caution

"The West's denial of reality is the product of a terrible pride, a voluntary blindness, a death impulse. False values are cherished and propagated. Ugliness has become beauty, immorality is progress. Is the West aware of the abyss that it is digging with its own feet? It is hard to imagine that such a  brilliant civilization could decide to abandon so many riches without understanding anything of this loss." Cardinal Robert Sarah, Prefect of the Congregation of Divine Worship
