Cardinal Robert Sarah has warned that a modern form of "paganism" has infiltrated the Catholic Church, occurring when "man placing himself at the center" replaces God. He lamented that this shift has reduced the liturgy to "entertainment" and morality to "constant negotiation," arguing that "when God is no longer first, even within the Church, everything else is corrupted". This trend, he suggests, is driven by a "fear of displeasing the world" and a fascination with worldly popularity over the Beatitudes.

According to the Cardinal, this "fluid ideology" is recognizable by the "blurring of the sense of sin" and a "trivialization of the liturgy". He observed that when the Church's supernatural purpose is forgotten, faith is often reduced to "sociological language". Sarah emphasizes that the Church must resist adapting to the "desires of the times," as choosing worldly standards over revealed truth leads to spiritual corruption.

Pope Leo XIV’s prayer intention for the month of May is that everyone might have food.

In a video released on X, the Holy Father asked the faithful, “What do you feel about 318 million people experiencing acute hunger every day?”

“We need to act, but without prayer we will remain powerless,” he said. “This May, I invite you to join me in prayer that we may seriously commit to avoiding food waste and to ensuring that everyone has access to quality food every day.”

In the full video shared on the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network website, Pope Leo recites an original prayer written specifically for this month’s prayer intention.

Here is the pope’s full prayer:

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amén.
Lord of creation,
You gave us the fertile earth and, with it, our daily bread,
as a sign of Your love and providence.
Today we recognize with sorrow
that millions of brothers and sisters continue to suffer from hunger,
while so many goods are wasted at our tables.
Awaken in us a new awareness:
that we learn to thank for every food,
to consume simply,
to share with joy,
and to care for the fruits of the earth as a gift from You,
destined for all, not just a few.
Good Father,
make us capable of transforming the logic of selfish consumption
into a culture of solidarity.
May our communities promote concrete gestures:
awareness campaigns, food banks,
and a sober and responsible lifestyle.
You who sent us Your beloved Son Jesus,
broken bread for the life of the world,
give us a new heart, hungry for justice and thirsty for fraternity.
May no one be excluded from the common table,
and may Your Spirit teach us to see bread
not as an object of consumption,
but as a sign of communion and care.

Amen.
