Born in a small village in Guinea and forged in the fires of Marxist persecution, Cardinal Robert Sarah rose from the margins of Africa to the heart of Rome. What follows is not a résumé—it's a glimpse of a prophet in our time. 1/13

On the Crisis of the Church:
“The Church is dying because the pastors are afraid of speaking the truth with clarity. We are afraid of the media, of public opinion, of our own brethren!”
(The Day is Now Far Spent)
He does not fear the wolves. 2/13

On the Collapse of the West:
“The West has denied its God. It is living in atheism and in a paganism that is ashamed to speak its name.”
(The Day is Now Far Spent)
While Rome dithers, Sarah names the wound. 3/13

“Today, the Church must confront ideological lies. Gender ideology and Islamic fanaticism are almost like two apocalyptic beasts.”
(2015 Synod Intervention)
He doesn't flinch at the culture war—he engages it. 4/13

On Mass Migration:
“It is a false exegesis to use the Word of God to promote migration. God never wanted these rifts.”
(Le Figaro, 2019)
Compassion and truth are not enemies. Sarah insists on both. 5/13

On Islamism:
“Islamism is a monstrous fanaticism that must be fought with force and determination. It will not stop its war.”
(Response to Nice terror attack, 2020)
A realist. A pastor. A man who has seen the cost of naïveté. 6/13

On the Liturgy:
“When liturgy is centered on the priest, on the community, and no longer on God, it loses its character of adoration.”
(Address on the Sacred Liturgy, 2016)
Sarah would restore reverence to the altar—and awe to the faithful. 7/13

On the Need for Silence:
“Without silence, God disappears in the noise. Unless we rediscover silence, we are lost.”
(The Power of Silence)
He knows the modern soul is starving—and what it truly needs. 8/13

On the Foundations of Holiness:
“If we want to grow and be filled with the love of God, it is necessary to plant our life on three realities: the Cross, the Host, and the Virgin.”
(The Power of Silence)
Sarah lives at the foot of the Cross. 9/13

On the Mission of the Church Today:
“The true revolution comes from silence; it leads us toward God and others so as to place ourselves humbly at their service.”
(The Power of Silence)
A revolution rooted not in noise, but in God. 10/13

Why Sarah?
Because he has the courage of Elijah, the silence of St. Joseph, and the heart of a father. Because he speaks what others fear to whisper. Because the day is far spent, and the Church needs a lion.
Let the faithful pray. Let the cardinals remember. 11/13

And a name for his papacy? How about Pope Leo XIV?
It invokes strength (the lion), tradition, and militant defence of the faith. It suggests a protector of the flock in an age of ideological invasion and doctrinal collapse.
What name would you choose for a Sarah papacy? 12/13

If this thread stirred something in you—if you believe the Church needs clarity, courage, and a return to God—
