Cardinal Sarah: I affirm solemnly that the Church of Africa will firmly oppose every rebellion against the teaching of Christ and the Magisterium

23 February 2015

His Eminence Robert Cardinal Sarah, Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship, has expressed strong opposition to all attempts to separate pastoral practice from the doctrinal teaching of the Church.

He said:

The idea that would consist in placing the Magisterium in a nice box by detaching it from pastoral practice — which could evolve according to the circumstances, fads, and passions — is a form of heresy, a dangerous schizophrenic pathology. I affirm solemnly that the Church of Africa will firmly oppose every rebellion against the teaching of Christ and the Magisterium.
