ROBERT SARAH<\/strong><br \/>\nPrefect, Congregation for Divine Worship <br \/>\n<em> \u201cDo you think a husband can diminish his love for his wife? How can he diminish it? Can a woman diminish her love for her husband? Our relationship with God is a relationship of love. Doctrine is not a rule. It is an expression of love.\u201d<br \/>\n \u201cIn love the details are very important to express our affection. If we simplify it, we are no longer in love.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Robert Sarah was born in Guinea-Conakri 74 years ago. He thinks Africa can help heal Europe from the spiritual crisis it is experiencing. Part of the reason is because in over a hundred years the number of Catholics has risen from two million to 200 million.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>CARD.

It is despised economically, politically and scientifically. However, God takes what is nothing to show his power.\u201d<br \/>\n \u201cThe Lord makes use of Africa for the salvation of the family; of life; of values; of transcendence; of relationships between man and God.
