Cardinal Hollerich: ‘Today we have politicians. Politicians have no convictions’ appeared on www.catholicnewsagency.com by Alexander Folz / CNA Deutsch.
“Today we have politicians. Politicians have no convictions: They read polls and adapt what they think to them. This is a huge mistake that I see at both national and European levels,” the cardinal said.
Compelling political argumentation has faded into the background, he added. “Today, those who govern us no longer have a backbone.”
Hollerich went on to say that other “ideals” — such as ecology and climate change — are supported by a large part of the population, which he also shared because “they are a necessity in order to save humanity.”
Climate change must be tackled, the cardinal said, because it otherwise “will kill just as many people as war.”
Regarding the Church’s role in dealing with political and social issues, Hollerich said it should engage the world in a dialog based on the Second Vatican Council.
The archbishop of Luxembourg said that some “ideals, such as globalization, are supported by a small bourgeois, rich, and intellectual minority. As far as the various socialist parties are concerned, in many countries they have begun to promote social reforms rather than social welfare reforms.”
