Pope accepts resignation of Cardinal Robert Sarah

From the National Catholic Reporter

ROME — Pope Francis accepted the resignation of Cardinal Robert Sarah as the head of the Vatican's worship congregation today in an unexpected announcement ending the tenure of one of the Vatican officials most often seen as an opponent of the pontiff's vision for the global church.

The Vatican release communicating the news did not give a reason for Sarah's departure or name who would be replacing him. In a tweet the cardinal alluded to the fact that he had turned 75, the traditional retirement age for bishops, last June.
