Related: About this forumBenedict XVI praises Cardinal Sarah as great 'spiritual teacher'
http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/benedict-xvi-praises-cardinal-sarah-as-great-spiritual-teacher-92919/--------------------------
Cardinal Sarah is a spiritual teacher, who speaks out of the depths of silence with the Lord, out of his interior union with him, and thus really has something to say to each one of us, Benedict XVI said.
The emeritus Pope added that we ought to be grateful to Pope Francis for his 2014 appointment of Cardinal Sarah as prefect of the Congregation of Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments.
The liturgy, Benedict said, has a certain type of specialization which ultimately can talk right past the essential thing unless it is grounded in a deep, interior union with the praying Church, which over and over again learns anew from the Lord himself what adoration is.
With Cardinal Sarah, a master of silence and of interior prayer, the liturgy is in good hands, he said.

Cardinal Sarah? Where do I remember that name from? Oh yeah, this:
Vatican Cardinal to Americans: In Your Nation, God Is Being Eroded, Eclipsed, Liquidated
--------------------------
In what he called "portentous times" for the Catholic Church and for the world, Cardinal Sarah condemned same-sex marriage, transgender bathroom laws, and attacks on the family as "demonic".
All manner of immorality is not only accepted and tolerated today in advanced societies, it is even promoted as a social good, the African cardinal said. The result is hostility to Christians and increasingly, religious persecution.
This is not an ideological war between competing ideas, Sarah told the D.C. gathering. This is about defending ourselves, children and future generations from the demonic idolatry that says children do not need mothers and fathers. It denies human nature and wants to cut off an entire generation from God.

Neat.
