About the author:

Originally from Guinea, Cardinal Robert Sarah is a traditional and orthodox minded former senior Vatican official whose prophetic witness, personal sanctity, and literary works have brought him a wide and devoted following across the world.

In October 2001, John Paul II appointed Sarah secretary of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, a post he held for nearly a decade. On leaving Guinea to take up the post, he was awarded the country’s highest honor by Guinea’s leader, General Lansana Conté, but the decoration did not prevent Sarah from publicly criticizing the regime’s corruption and poor administration.

Benedict XVI appointed Sarah president of the Pontifical Council Cor Unum in 2010 and elevated him to cardinal the same year. He took part in the 2013 conclave that elected Pope Francis.

In 2014, Francis nominated Sarah prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, a position he held until 2021.
