Excerpts from Cardinal Sarah’s book, ‘God or Nothing’…
“While Christians are dying for their faith and their fidelity to Jesus, in the West, men of the Church are trying to reduce the requirements of the Gospel to a minimum.”
Later he strongly notes that some theologians want to grant admission to Eucharistic Communion to the divorced and remarried, despite their ongoing state of adultery.
“The divorced and remarried took it upon themselves to transgress Christ’s command: ‘What God has joined together, let no man put asunder’ (Mt 19:6), and consequently they are forbidden to receive sacramental communion; to abolish this prohibition would clearly mean the denial of the indissolubility of sacramental marriage.”
His conclusion is that, “Men who devise and elaborate strategies to kill God, to destroy the centuries-old doctrine and teaching of the Church, will themselves be swallowed up, carried off by their own earthly victory into the eternal fires of Gehenna.”

The excerpts above focus especially on Christian marriage, the Eucharist, and the danger of reducing difficult teachings to fit the spirit of the age. They invite readers to seek both truth and charity, remaining faithful to Christ even when discipleship is costly.
