cardinal sarah

Cardinal Sarah refers to Cardinal Robert Sarah, a Guinean Catholic prelate known for his traditional and orthodox views within the Catholic Church. He served as prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments and has been a vocal advocate for the centrality of God in liturgy, promoting traditional liturgical forms such as the Extraordinary Form of the Mass. He is also noted for his opposition to liberal theology, gender ideology, and the moral decline he perceives in Western secularism. Cardinal Sarah has a deep prayer life and is respected for his personal sanctity, spiritual writings, and advocacy of authentic Christian charity. Recently, he was appointed as a special envoy by Pope Leo XIV to preside over liturgical celebrations marking the 400th anniversary of certain religious apparitions. He is widely admired by conservative Catholics and has been considered a potential future pope by some traditionalist factions, although he is known to have had tensions with Pope Francis on several issues.
