“Vatican Cardinal Robert Sarah denounced the ‘barbaric Islamist violence’ behind the Easter bombings in Sri Lanka,” where the death toll is now close to 300, with 500 more injured. Sarah further stated: “As we celebrate the resurrection of the son of God, the terrible attacks in Sri Lanka once again show how the followers of Christ are all over the world the victims of wild and foolish deeds.”
Merely days before the Sri Lankan attack on the peaceful Christian community, Sarah warned that “If Europe disappears, Islam will invade the world,” and that it was “a false exegesis to use the Word of God to promote migration.” Sarah’s homeland is the Republic of Guinea, which is 85% Muslim, so he is no stranger to the woes of jihad and Islamic supremacism. “Cardinal Sarah, who heads up the Vatican’s liturgical department, has been called the ‘standard bearer for Catholic orthodoxy,’” and he is increasingly vocal in his disagreement on these issues with the Pope of Islam and other blind guides.
“Vatican Cardinal Decries ‘Barbaric Islamist Violence’ Behind Sri Lanka Attack”, by Thomas D. Williams, Breitbart, April 22, 2019:
Vatican Cardinal Robert Sarah denounced the “barbaric Islamist violence” behind the Easter bombings in Sri Lanka Sunday.
“As we celebrate the resurrection of the son of God, the terrible attacks in Sri Lanka once again show how the followers of Christ are all over the world the victims of wild and foolish deeds,” wrote the Guinean cardinal, the highest-ranking African prelate in the Catholic Church.“I condemn this barbaric Islamist violence. Pray,” he wrote in a tweet to his followers.
On Monday, the Sri Lankan government identified a local Islamist terrorist group called National Thowfeek Jamaath as the force responsible for coordinated Easter Sunday suicide bomb attacks against Christians and luxury hotel guests.
The Easter Sunday bombings, which targeted Christians and westerners, killed at least 290 people with more than 500 injured.
Cardinal Sarah, whose native country the Republic of Guinea is 85 percent Muslim, has been critical of the naivete of many in the West who do not understand the danger of radical Islam…..
…..Cardinal Sarah, who heads up the Vatican’s liturgical department, has been called the “standard bearer for Catholic orthodoxy” and was the world’s youngest bishop in 1979, when Pope John Paul II named him for episcopal ordination at only 34 years of age.
He is now one of the most important cardinals in the Church, and his name often comes up on the short list of “papabile” — or papal candidates to eventually succeed Pope Francis.

“Your Eminence, pick up on Line 2. It’s Pope Frances; he sounds angry.”
FYI says
It would probably be pointless trying to engage with francis:he’s just far too busy scattering his flock,undermining Catholicism* and pandering to islam,kissing,slobbering and perhaps sniffing the feet of important people like politicians and celebrities.
Alas,I don’t think the “Listening pope of the listening church” will be listening.He can’t hear.
{Indeed the vatican PR promotes the nonsense that francis is “the pope of the Ear”}
francis is more concerned with being a showman and a politician,more concerned about worldly matters like Global warming and supporting mass islamic immigration than anything as mundane as assisting catholics or acting as a shepherd,guiding the flock in the mission of the Church{“The salvation of souls and the conversion of sinners”}or speaking out against the persecution of Catholics like poor Asia Bibi.
There’s none of that for frankie!
{Ok “pope” francis, for those with an almost idolatrous devotion to the Holy See.Yes,obviously he has the title of pope but what an appaling pope he is…}
It would be marvellous if a man like Cardinal Sarah was pope: a True shepherd,not a showman like francis.
Many Catholics want their Church back:it is the Church administrators and Hierarchy,the errors of Vatican 2 and this “pope” that are the problem.Vatican 2 began the rot… many Catholics left{To The Eastern Orthodox} because they wanted the sense of tradition to be maintained,traditions still kept by the Eastern Orthodox.
*Let’s see:Dubbia 2016,filial correction 2017{francis was asked by faithful catholics to retract his heretical views:he has not done so},Amoris laetitia(widely condemned as giving scandal to catholics!!}his constant undermining of catholics,his pandering to islam and his false equivalence of the muslim Arab god Al-iLah{who CURSES Christians k9:30} with the Christian God,surely the greatest of all heresies..the mccarrick affair where he was caught out lying,promoting pedos …what a list!..
“Is the Pope Catholic”?Well,francis isn’t..
Paco says
Deafening silence once again from the worlds muslim leaders , not a single word . You won’t find them wearing a crucifix in sympathy with the worlds christians .
Bacherbazistan says
And they haven’t condemned jihadis as heretics/apostates either.
No apparent sign of an anti-jihad movement among “moderate” muslims.
gravenimage says
True, Paco and Bacherbazistan.
Tony Naim says
The west is faced with 2 options to eradicate Islamic barbarism:
Either outlaw Islam altogether .
Or reform it:
To do so, implies all western governments must develop a unified foreign policy position to approach Islamic Centers of jurisprudence-Mecca, Azhar, Najaf and Qom – with an ultimatum:
Erase the call for violence against anyone from the Koranic text or face economic – and if necessary -military consequences.
Bacherbazistan says
Reform of islam is impossible, Mo had that well covered. Anyone who tries to reform islam is guilty of apostasy.
gravenimage says
Actually, we were mostly safe from Jihad when Islam was isolated–it should be isolated again.
Jaladhi says
I guess Cardinal Robert Sarah didn’t get the memo from the Pope!! He deserves to be the next Pope when the current Pope retires/resigns.
TKF says
More Islam=More terror. Duh. It is an ideology that teaches violence and death. Everyone who hasn’t been under a rock for the past twenty years knows that.
Tom says
May God bless Cardinal Sarah and keep him safe in these violent and turbulent times in our world.
We need more good men and women to stand up and decry political correctness and show the western nations the folly of mass migration, pandering to Islam, and multiculturalism, before it is too late.
Diversity is NOT our strength, it is our weakness. One that has been weaponized and used against us by left wing politicians and the subversive Muslim Brotherhood.
Those who want to immigrate to the west are welcome as long as they are people who want to fully integrate into western culture and leave their interfaith hatred in the home country.
Merit based immigration with controlled numbers is the only way to allow people into our countries.
Mass migration, without control or vetting, is cultural and ethnic suicide for the indigenous peoples of the west.
Politicians, like Germany’s Merkel, who promoted mass migration of millions from third world countries into the west, should be arrested as traitors, tried and if convicted, jailed for the rest of their lives.
No more ultra left wing socialist or communist ideological government in the west, it is time for people to stand up and vote for common sense government.
Mario Alexis Portella says
Yes indeed!
Rufolino says
Hear, hear Tom. All of us are hoping that more and more people in West are waking up to the situation.
James Lincoln says
If Vatican Cardinal Robert Sarah ever became Pope, I would consider rejoining the Catholic Church.
Malcolm (South Afric) says
Cardinal Robert Sarah is well respected in Catholic communities.
We Catholics in Africa, Middle East, Asia think you in Europe, Americas, are either hard of hearing or refuse to see the slaughter of Christians in our countries.
All you do is blame our leaders. Try and blame your countries who sell arms to them, trade with them only then to call us Easter Worshipers when we are slaughtered. Pious platitudes.
Tom says
Malcolm you are absolutely right. There are many in the west who have ignored the plight of Christians in Africa and the Middle East who are being slaughtered and persecuted for their faith.
Most of those who ignore the genocide of Christians are politically left leaning and mostly non Christian. Politicians who are pandering to the left and Islam are directly responsible, along with the main stream media, for failing to bring these atrocities to the fore in the public consciousness.
Also to blame are those who lecture us from the pulpit about diversity and inclusion instead of railing against the persecution of Christians.
Lastly, Christians hide their heads in the sand hoping that if they ignore the elephant in the room it will go away. “He who feeds a crocodile in the hope it will eat him last, is a fool, devoid of reason and common sense” just about covers it.
Malcolm (South Afric) says
Tom
Well said Tom, for people in Africa and affected countries we need to understand and the of of the West. The MSM and and left ideology are topics that I have spoken about when it was not popular. Since Donald Trump was elected, many now see how debased the majority of the MSM are.
Western countries, UK, France, USA, are in a conundrum, They sell arms to the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan. These three supply there favorite terrorist in Yemen. These arms find there way to Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Africa,
Russia, Iran do the same to their favorite terrorist and so it goes on.
I do not have the answers to these issues however we need to have a frank discussion about it.
Malcolm (South Afric) says
Should read(understand the West)
CRUSADER says
Malcolm,
So you would favor Pope Francis to be replaced by this Cardinal (Sarah) ?
Mario Alexis Portella says
Don’t give up on us yet! There are others like Cardinal Burke who also speak out, notwithstanding falling out of favor with Pope Francis. Please God, the present climate in the Church won’t last for long.
CRUSADER says
You would put Cardinal Burke first on the list to replace Pope Francis?

Lor says
I could get behind this man!! Thank God that he speaks his mind with authority.
ntesdorf says
Cardinal Robert Sarah is saying all the sorts of things that we would have hoped that the Pope would have been saying. Left leaning apologists like to ignore the genocide of Christians, especially those in Africa. They are pandering to Islam, in the hope that it will leave them alone or reward them. The Left is directly responsible, along with the main stream media, for failing to stand against these atrocities and simply encourage more Muslim atrocities.
