Cardinal Sarah: There is no misunderstanding between us

Cardinal Robert Sarah has again made a public announcement in respect of his new book which caused so much controversy last week (see my post here). In a series of three tweets, the Prefect for the Congregation of Divine Worship lambasted those who have weaponised the book launch as engaging in “nauseating and deceptive controversies” I have translated his tweets from the original French and embedded the originals for your information here:

Because of the incessant, nauseating and deceptive controversies that have never stopped since the beginning of the week, concerning the book From the Depths of Our Hearts, I met Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI this evening. With Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, we have seen how there is no misunderstanding between us. I came out very happy, full of peace and courage from this beautiful interview. I call you to read and meditate From the Depths of Our Hearts. I warmly thank my editor, Nicolas Diat, as well as the house Fayard, for the thoroughness, probity, seriousness, and professionalism which they have shown. Excellent reading to all! En raison des polémiques incessantes, nauséabondes et mensongères qui ne se sont jamais arrêtées depuis le début de la semaine, concernant le livre Des profondeurs de nos cœurs, j’ai rencontré ce soir le Pape Émérite Benoît XVI.

Je remercie chaleureusement mon éditeur, Nicolas Diat, ainsi que la maison Fayard, pour la rigueur, la probité, le sérieux, et le professionnalisme dont ils ont fait preuve. Excellente lecture à tous ! (3) +RS— Cardinal R. Sarah (@Card_R_Sarah) January 17, 2020It’s particularly interesting that the Cardinal has referred to the book by it’s original title despite the intervention of Archbishop George Gaenswein.

+Gaenswein has asked that Benedict XVI’s name be deleted from the introduction & conclusion of the book on the priesthood and celibacy. He said Benedict knew his text would go into the work but wasn’t aware of the book’s precise form and presentation

Praise the Lord
