Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on November 18, 1943)

Happy Birthday, Cardinal Leonardo Sandri! You've gracefully navigated the corridors of Vatican diplomacy and leadership since becoming Prefect for the Congregation for Oriental Churches in 2007. Your tireless dedication to unity among diverse traditions has made you a true ecclesiastical rockstar—though we're still waiting on your debut album!

From Argentina's sunny shores to Rome’s historic halls, you've championed dialogue with wisdom and warmth that even Pope Francis would envy (just don't tell him we said so!). May this birthday bring as much joy as your countless contributions have brought inspiration.

Here's wishing many more years filled with blessings—and perhaps fewer committee meetings!
