Cardinal Robert Sarah is the kind of Pope we need. Instead, we got the kind of Pope we deserve.
Signed,
A white racist who prays for Cardinal Robert Sarah to be the first black Pope. Yes, I know some idiot liberal isn’t going to understand my sense of humor.
All IN.
I too have been praying for this Holy man of God who is undivided and quite a Helmsman.
I have three of his books. Over the past several years, have often spoken to others what a great pope he would make.
LQC-
Liberal idiots don’t have a sense of humor.
(I *would* be afraid that one of them would take offense at my remark, but they won’t – because they all think they’re the smartest guy in the room🤣)
Yes, we need him as the next pope. Pope Francis doesn’t have the capacity to write and say the thoughts that Cardinal Sarah does. Praying for Sarah’s good health.
I thought Cardinal Sarah was past 80 and therefore too old to vote in a conclave, but apparently that wouldn’t prevent him from being elected Pope (if enough voting cardinals chose him, of course)?
Yeah, any Catholic male could, in theory, be elected pope.
