New Cardinal Spengler: Germany's church as a model for solidarity!
The newly appointed Brazilian cardinal Jaime Spengler has given the Catholic Church in Germany an outstanding role. He emphasized that she has a "rich and wonderful story" and that her extraordinary contribution to theological and philosophical research should not be underestimated over the centuries. In an interview with Kathpress Spengler said that the German church was always able to live solidarity with other churches. This solidarity could help deepen the relationships between the churches and to promote church life as a whole. The 64-year-old, who comes from a family of German emigrants, looks optimistically into the future and sees English, Spanish, Italian and even a few German words as part of his multicultural identity.
