Benjamin Franklin is credited with creating the expression “nothing in life is inevitable except death and taxes”. Today, however, to a cardinal candidate to become Pope, the Islamization of Europe is also inevitable.
I met Cardinal Christoph Schönborn. I think it was in 2004. We were in Rimini and I had the opportunity to talk to him for an hour. We talked about relativism, Europe, the cultural crisis. A cultured cardinal, pro Israel, aware of the fracture we were experiencing although at the time it was only the beginning. This is why I was surprised by what Schönborn, Archbishop of Vienna, a former student of Joseph Ratzinger and today one of the cardinals most admired by the reigning Pontiff, just stated to a French magazine. According to him, faced with the growth of Islam in many historically Christian nations, the decline of Europe should be considered “inevitable.”
