The strange case of Cardinal Sarah
Ed Condon, The Pillar
Wednesday, February 24, 2021
The cardinal’s departure from the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments was announced by the Vatican Press Office without any mention of who will take his place. That’s unusual, and it prompted competing theories among Vatican watchers and officials: Some suggest Sarah is being publicly punished, while others ask if the announcement is a sign of pending structural reform at the Vatican. Neither theory is entirely satisfying.
