Le cardinal Sarah reconduit à la Congrégation pour le culte divin

Le cardinal Robert Sarah, préfet de la Congrégation pour le culte divin et la discipline des sacrements, a été maintenu à sa charge par le pape François, a appris l’agence I.MEDIA de sources concordantes. Le prélat, nommé à ce poste par le pontife argentin le 23 novembre 2014, a atteint 75 ans – l’âge canonique de la retraite – le 15 juin 2020.


Cardinal Sarah returned to the Congregation for divine worship

 Cardinal Robert Sarah, prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, was kept in charge by Pope Francis, learned the I.MEDIA agency from concordant sources.  The prelate, appointed to this post by the Argentine pontiff on November 23, 2014, reached 75 years of age - the canonical age of retirement - on June 15, 2020.

 In accordance with the custom of the decision-making circuits of the Holy See, Cardinal Sarah received an official letter signed by the hand of Pope Francis confirming his continued leadership of the Congregation for Divine Worship.  The prelate is renewed according to the Latin formula donec aliter provideatur, that is to say "Until the pope decides otherwise".

 Born on June 15, 1945, the Guinean prelate was converted by Spiritan missionaries at the age of twelve before discovering his vocation.  Ordained in 1969, he became professor and then director of the Conakry seminary in 1976. At only 34 years old, he was appointed archbishop of Conakry by John Paul II, thus becoming the youngest bishop in the world.  With this function, he does not cease to be openly opposed to the Marxist dictatorial regime of Sékou Touré.

 In 2001, he was called by the Polish pope to the Roman Curia as secretary of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples.  The pontiff Benedict XVI appoints him in 2010 president of the pontifical Council Cor Unum, before creating him cardinal.  (cath.ch/imedia/ah/rz)

A pleasant surprise. Deo Gratias. Maybe in their worst dreams, even the liturgical "progressives" recognize the failure that is the OF.

Hold on to your seat. This is just a sign that the pope is about to do something outrageous. He always appeases the traditionalists before he strikes.

Mark Thomas said...

This is a surprise only to those who have pretended that Pope Francis and Cardinal Sarah have stood in fierce opposition to each other...that Pope Francis has despised Cardinal Sarah.

Cardinal Sarah has made in clear that he and Pope Francis enjoy a solid, respectful relationship with each other.

Time and again, left-wing, as well as right-wing claims that Pope Francis, and this or that Cardinal/bishop despise and oppose each other, have proved false.

That has applied also to the nonsense that Pope Francis and Pope Emeritus have despised and opposed each other.

Pax.

Cardinal Sarah was 2 or 3 years old when he was baptised. His parents were converts from animism.

Of course, I have not seen this on any liturgical blogs in USA so Egyptian could have sent me fake news! On the other hand I was the first American blog to break the news when Pope Benedict stunned the orthodox and heterodox by wearing the fannon for the first time at the outdoor EasterMass!

This looks legit to me. It's published on the Radio télévision suisse (RTS) public service broadcasting site, and stems from a media agency that's in weekly contact with Sarah (judging from its website).

The Vatican seems to have given up on announcing term extensions through formal channels. When Guido Marini had his term extended, the only announcement was a vaticanista's tweet:

If this is true, it still is only a temporary measure, and as likely due to prospective successors seeking excusing themselves out of desire to not be a fall guy/punching bag as anything else.

Which will leave only the shameless sycophants brave and stupid enough, and mean Spadaro has a lock on the position. I can see it now...Holy Mass renamed Happy Meal, your choice of rosary with every meal, Papa Francesco or Pachamama.

Fake news or otherwise, I still don't understand as to why Cardinal Sarah's retention at CDW would shock anybody.

Cardinal Sarah has made it clear that Pope Francis and he enjoy an excellent relationship with each other.

The real surprise would come should Pope Francis not retain Cardinal Sarah.

Anyway, Cardinal Sarah has taught us well...has served as a holy example...as to our vital need to love, and stand with His Holiness, Pope Francis.

As Cardinal Sarah has made clear via interviews, to stand in opposition to Pope Francis is to stand with Satan.

May God grant Cardinal Sarah many happy and blessed years.

Pax.

Mark Thomas,
I’m sorry but I don’t really agree with your perspective on Cardinal Sarah who, at best, is only outwardly loyal to Pope Francis.
Here’s why...

“ A charismatic African cardinal has become a centre of opposition within the Church to both the style and content of Francis’ papacy. The Tablet’s Rome correspondent wonders what the future might hold for Robert Sarah, who will be 75 next month

Much of the opposition to Pope Francis operates behind the scenes, in private. Some of it comes from officials and bureaucrats who are sitting on their hands waiting for this pontificate to end. They may not overtly oppose Francis, but they don’t really support him either. Like the civil servants in the British television series, Yes Minister, on the surface they will agree. “Yes, of course, Holy Father, we must have a Church for the poor … Only I’m not necessarily sure you should be welcoming refugees into the Vatican.” In Italy this is termed gattopardismo, the strategy of creating an illusion of progress while leaving everything just the same.”

UK priest...Please don't fall for Mark Thomas' troll bait. When he couldn't get anyone to respond to him the first time, didn't you notice how after his two "despises" in his first post didn't get anyone interested, he resorted to "stands with Satan" in the second. Just let the little provocateur prattle on and polish his Pachamama statue. He's not worth your attention or your time.

Had you paid the slightest bit of attention to detail, then, rather than have promoted lies against me, you would have noted the following:

1. Father McDonald posted a story about Cardinal Sarah having been retained at the CDW.

2. Father McDonald posted my response to the story in question.

3. Then, yesterday, at 12:46 PM, Father McDonald noted in regard to the story about Cardinal Sarah:

"Of course, I have not seen this on any liturgical blogs in USA so Egyptian could have sent me fake news!"

4. Yesterday, at 8:47 PM, I posted a response to Father McDonald's concern that the story about Cardinal Sarah may have been fake news.

Therefore, Anonymous, you lied when you claimed: "Please don't fall for Mark Thomas' troll bait. When he couldn't get anyone to respond to him the first time, didn't you notice how after his two "despises" in his first post didn't get anyone interested, he resorted to "stands with Satan" in the second."

Anonymous, again, your above comment is a lie. My second post on this thread was in response to Father McDonald's comment that the story in question may have been fake news.

Anonymous, please apply a bit...just a bit of reading comprehension to my comments.

Just a bit of reading comprehension...that's all it takes...prior to your unfortunate attempts to defame me.

Thank you.

Pax.

I don't understand your comment.

Anyway, Anonymous at June 17, 2020 at 12:50 PM lied about me.

Now, I will move on.
