The article contrasts Sarah with other possible candidates like Jos\u00e9 Tolentino Cala\u00e7a de Mendon\u00e7a, who is seen as more progressive and controversial. The author critiques Pope Francis for his perceived failures to uphold traditional Christian values and highlights the urgency for the church to return to its roots. The piece reflects a longing for leadership that aligns more closely with conservative Catholic views, encouraging prayer for Sarah to ascend to the papacy and suggesting that many disillusioned Catholics would return if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/u-k-school-chaplain-reported-as-terrorist-for-questioning-lgbt-activists-set-to-appeal-legal-ruling-against-him\/\" title=\"U.K. School Chaplain Reported as Terrorist for Questioning LGBT Activists Set to Appeal Legal Ruling Against Him\">traditional teachings<\/a> were reaffirmed.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Christians need not profess the Catholic faith in order to recognize the importance of the moment.<\/p>\n<p>In short, someone must now teach the world to seek truth in something other than whims and fashion.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, 88-year-old <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/breaking-pope-francis-dead-88\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pope Francis<\/a> died, bringing an end to a papacy that, in many ways, conservatives regarded as little more than an apostasy and setting the stage for a papal enclave that could result in the election of a conservative favorite, 79-year-old Cardinal Robert Sarah from the west African nation of Guinea.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the phrase &ldquo;could result&rdquo; must temper conservatives&rsquo; expectations.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, on Monday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2025\/apr\/21\/who-next-pope-francis-potential-candidates-succeed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Guardian<\/a> profiled Sarah as one of nine possible candidates to succeed Francis.

Mendon&ccedil;a &ldquo;has attracted controversy for sympathizing with tolerant views on same-sex relationships and allying himself with a feminist Benedictine sister who <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">favors women&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s ordination and is pro-choice,&rdquo; per The Guardian.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, one who supports <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/study-reveals-just-many-babies-saved-restricting-abortion-praise-god-numbers-big\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">abortion<\/a> cannot reconcile one&rsquo;s views with Christianity, let alone Catholicism.<\/p>\n<p>To his credit, the late Pope Francis did denounce abortion as the murder of children. Unfortunately, he spoke few other truths.<\/p>\n<p>Francis regularly invited <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/pope-francis-invites-large-group-transgenders-eat-lunch-vatican\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">transgender sex workers<\/a> to have lunch with him at the Vatican. Of course, no Christian objects to that. Jesus would have done the same, and He would have done it from love. But the Lord would have done so for the purpose of teaching about sin, not to validate all personal choices. In that respect, therefore, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pope-francis-death-early-guide-to-who-might-succeed-him\/\" title=\"... ...: Early guide to who might succeed him\">late pope&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s endorsement of wokeness constituted one of his truly catastrophic failures.<\/p>\n<p>Worse yet, in comments about then-Vice President Kamala Harris and then-former President Donald Trump prior to the 2024 U.S. presidential election, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/pope-francis-weighs-trump-harris-race-damning-words-may-give-voters-lot-think\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Francis<\/a> made it clear that he equated the evil of abortion with opposition to open borders.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They are both against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jesus-christ-is-protecting-donald-trump\/\" title=\"Jesus Christ is protecting Donald ...\">life &#038;mdash<\/a>; the one who throws away migrants and the one who kills children,&rdquo; Francis said.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing strikes the honest reader as more hypocritical than touting open borders from behind Vatican walls.<\/p>\n<p>In short, while one cannot read others&rsquo; hearts, the late pope qualified as more of a pro-life <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/no-doubt-pope-francis-faithful-globalist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">globalist<\/a> than anything.<\/p>\n<p>Conservatives, therefore, would greet Sarah&rsquo;s elevation to the papacy with unbridled joy.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Europe seems programmed for self-destruction,&rdquo; Sarah said of mass immigration, per the <a href=\"https:\/\/thecatholicherald.com\/feature-europes-liberal-governing-classes-would-have-endless-mass-migration-and-the-suicide-of-traditional-europe-only-authentic-catholic-teaching-shows-us-how-to-avoid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Catholic Herald<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, in a clip posted Monday to the social media platform X, the west African cardinal, speaking softly in French, told an interviewer that he feared for Europe&rsquo;s fate now that the continent had largely abandoned its Christian heritage.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;You know,&rdquo; he said, sounding almost mournful, &ldquo;the biggest worry is that Europe doesn&rsquo;t want anymore or has lost the sense of its origins. It has lost its roots. Yet, a tree without roots, it dies. And I&rsquo;m afraid the West is dying.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Many Americans believe that God sent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-trump-adopts-special-easter-greeting-godless-libs-atheists-satan-absolutely-hate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trump<\/a>, a billionaire real-estate developer from New York, to save the United States. Thus, might God also send a black cardinal from Africa to save the West from itself?<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;You are invaded, still, by other cultures, other peoples, which will progressively dominate you by their numbers and completely change your culture, your convictions, your values,&rdquo; Sarah said later in the interview.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">&#128680; WOW!

It is essential for someone to guide the world in searching for truth beyond fleeting trends. On Monday, Pope Francis passed away at 88, concluding a papacy that many conservatives viewed as an apostasy, paving the way for a conclave that might elect a conservative candidate like Cardinal Robert Sarah from Guinea. However, expectations should be tempered as Sarah&#8217;s ascension is not guaranteed; The Guardian recently listed him among nine potential successors. <\/p>\n<p>Despite this uncertainty, Sarah deserves our prayers given some of the alternatives. For example, 59-year-old Jos\u00e9 Tolentino Cala\u00e7a de Mendon\u00e7a from Portugal has gained attention but has faced criticism for his progressive views on issues like same-sex relationships and women&#8217;s ordination\u2014positions incompatible with traditional Christian beliefs. While Pope Francis condemned abortion as child murder, he often failed to uphold other truths.<\/p>\n<p>Francis was known for inviting transgender sex workers to lunch at the Vatican\u2014a gesture rooted in love but lacking in teaching about sin. His endorsement of progressive ideologies marked significant failures during his papacy. He controversially equated opposition to open borders with abortion rights when discussing political figures like Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Conservatives would welcome Sarah&#8217;s potential elevation enthusiastically; he has expressed concerns over mass immigration and Europe&#8217;s abandonment of its Christian roots, warning that without roots, &#8220;a tree dies.&#8221; Many Americans believe God sent Trump to save the U.S., leading some to wonder if He might send an African cardinal like Sarah to rescue Western civilization.<\/p>\n<p>Social media reactions reflect hope surrounding Sarah\u2019s candidacy; users describe him as a staunch defender of tradition and faith who could reignite spiritual fervor globally. However, it\u2019s clear how liberals would react if he were elected pope\u2014drawing parallels with their treatment of conservative figures such as Justice Clarence Thomas.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, many lapsed Catholics are contemplating a return but cannot endure another pope like Francis; should Mendon\u00e7a or someone similar be chosen instead of Sarah, they may seek out churches that truly teach Christianity instead<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2426181,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Cardinal-Robert-Sarah.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[53884,53883,53881,53880,53882],"class_list":["post-2426180","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-church-reform","tag-controversial-figures","tag-liberal-panic","tag-pope-candidate","tag-religious-leadership"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Cardinal-Robert-Sarah.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2426180","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2426180"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2426180\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2426185,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2426180\/revisions\/2426185"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2426181"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2426180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2426180"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2426180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
