I need to know what しかりだ does mean. I couldn't find over internet a
satisfactory meaning.

It is from a manga called Saint Seiya. Here is the whole text:

> 黄金聖闘士 十二人とはいえ まだ幼い者が かなり多い シルバーセイント ブロンズセイント しかりだ.

The pope is inheriting his place to a gold saint, and he is telling him that
the most of gold saints are young yet. But I don't understand what he is
saying about silver and bronze saints, because that last word しかりだ.

What しかりだ does mean?
[しかり](http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/leaf/jn2/94567/m0u/) also seen as 然り looked
up in the dictionary means そのようである or そのとおりである. However, I think it has a
stronger meaning than そのようである, and can often times be translated as "just
like" or "exactly like" in English.

(I'm not sure how those sentences actually are written in the manga, but) I
would translate the part シルバーセイント ブロンズセイント しかりだ in English to be "the silver
and bronze saints are just like gold saints.

Adding punctuation, your sentences are as follows:

> [黄金聖闘士]{ゴールドセイント}十二人とはいえまだ幼い者がかなり多い。[白銀聖闘士]{シルバーセイント}、[青銅聖闘士]{ブロンズセイント}しかりだ。

…(も)しかりだ means “so is ….” In your case, the speaker says that most of the
twelve Gold Saints are young and immature, and then he/she says “So are Silver
Saints and Bronze Saints”; in other words, “Also most of the Silver Saints and
the Bronze Saints are young and immature.”

(I am not sure why the speaker says とはいえ in the first sentence. Interpreting
it needs more context, and I will not try it here.)

As Jesse Good wrote,
[[然]{しか}り](http://dic.yahoo.co.jp/dsearch?enc=UTF-8&p=%E7%84%B6%E3%82%8A&dtype=0&dname=0ss&stype=1&index=108214800000&pagenum=1)
means そうである. It was originally a verb, and could not be followed by だ, but in
modern Japanese the form しかりだ is often used.
