CARDINAL SARAH'S POWERFUL LETTER ON THE LITURGY & FATHER A. SCHMEMANN ON THEOLOGY AND THE EUCHARIST


Cardinal Robert Sarah has the reputation of being a "right-winger" by those who wish to reduce everything to politics.   However, he was made prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship by Pope Francis who has, in my view, the mistaken reputation for being a liberal.  One of Pope Francis' favourite themes is that there is great diversity in the Catholic Church, and that the bishops represent that diversity; while it is the function, the service of the pope to represent and to foster unity.  Both diversity and unity are signs of the Holy Spirit's presence in the Church.   In the following exerpts from an interview with Cardinal Sarah, you can see how he shares with Pope Francis a recognition of diversity, even while his own view of liturgy is theologically coherent, following the line of Pope Benedict.  Nevertheless, he will move to reconciliation of the different groupings in the Church.  You can see why Pope Francis chose him.
