I agree, Cardinal Sarah is about as solid as one can get for “getting it right”. He is a formidable man of faith.
 
I don’t understand why this is not known more about Cardinal Sarah. I tried researching it yesterday and found only one site that seemed only an opinion area. wondering if this is fake news…time will tell.
 
I like the word ostensibly, though not in the context it’s set in.

The only thing I have seen about this was when Pope Francis stated in an interview that the task of creating an Amazon rite could be given to the Congregation of Divine Worship - of which Cardinal Sarah is the Prefect. So if this is indeed what happens, then Cardinal Sarah would be the one in charge of developing such a rite. I too would believe that he would be the best choice if an Amazon rite had to be developed.

The only glaring problem with this…is that Cardinal Sarah’s five-year term as head of the CDW expires later this month. And there is good reason to believe that he will be replaced, similarly to how Cardinal Muller was removed from the CDF when his term expired a couple of years ago. So I think that this bit of speculation will ultimately turn out to be false, not maybe because of false reporting, but due to a future change in the Vatican.
 
If I’m a betting man I’d guess ambiguous language that appeases a progressive view but nothing definitive. Like much of the issues of this papacy it will be for another pope to decide.
 
Orthodox doesn’t necessarily = good. Or preferable. Or better.
 
The general gist that Amazonian changes are unwanted because they’re unorthodox.

it looks like Cardinal Robert Sarah is tasked with researching the proposed “Amazon Rite”.

The authors of that article seem unaware of two things. First, Cardinal Sarah is only nominally head of the CDW, and was effectively stripped of his actual authority years ago when Pope Francis stacked the congregation with his own supporters, in 2016, leaving Cardinal Sarah with little more than his name on an office door. And second, that, within a couple of weeks, Cardinal Sarah will almost certainly lose even that nominal role when his position come up for renewal. It is hard to imagine that Pope Francis would not eagerly replace him with someone more to his liking and more aligned to his way of thinking.
 
He’s a softie unless it comes to scolding Traditional Catholics or Americans. And most of the time, he seems upset at something that he himself (or those around him) misinterpreted. For example, he seems to think that the pachamama idols were thrown into the river because of hatred of the Amazon people. That is absolutely false; what is hated is the idolatry and underhanded scheming of the people involved in the synod. In fact, it is quite evil of the progressive bishops who were running that synod to use the Amazon people as an excuse to push their tired and awful agendas. Essentially, the Amazonians were human shields for the bishops proposing these ridiculous ideas.

At this point, it is clear that the Pope sees human beings through a left-wing, worldly lens. He seems to bestow holiness on people based on their lot in life, their socio-economic class, their degree of “victimhood.” Thus, to him, “the poor” are holy, migrants are holy, those “affected” by “climate change” are holy, etc. It is a very simple and naive worldview, quite childlike in fact. He seems to assume that all Americans are well-off and without struggle, unless they fall into one of those aforementioned categories.

In any case, the ideas proposed for this Amazon synod are useless, with the exception of some type of extremely restricted rite. The other ideas are failures. Expanding married priests, but moreso any type of female ordination would just exponentially erode the Church. Many Protestant denominations have already adopted these failed ideas, which did nothing for their churches except empty them out.
 
I unfortunately have to wait four hours until I could like this post, but I just wanted to let you know that I do like it.

I also wanted to add that one of the things that the Synod was trying to push was “sustainable development”. Which is just fancy talk for UN population control.

That pokemama fiasco was no accident either. Netflix has a pokemama cartoon for the kiddies to be indoctrinated into paganism. Cartoons aren’t made that quickly and is obviously not a coincidence. They already knew about it.

Didn’t they sign on with the un last Friday for this sustainability nonsense?

I was hopeful—for a short moment…Then, I read your post… I am less hopeful now—yet still hopeful… maybe fools gold—another instance of Lucy’s holding the ball for Charlie Brown…

After a quick skimming of the article cited in the OP, I don’t see why so many people are so worried. Have faith. Trust Pope Francis and our bishops. “Pray, hope, and don’t worry.”
