"Joy and hope, sadness and fear" Texts and caricatures on faith and the church

"Joy and hope, sorrow and fear" - this is how the text on the "Church in the modern world" of the Second Vatican Council begins. Sixty years have passed since then. There is not much left of the new beginnings of that time, and demolition and alienation characterize the perceived reality of the church today.Cardinal Marc Ouellet, the former head of the Vatican Bishops' Office, wrote for communio.de: "The age of Christianity is over". One would like to put a question mark after the title.

Many texts and cartoons from recent years show that people are not indifferent to faith and the church. Cartoons show the realities of faith, Christianity and the church, which suddenly take on new, surprising contours through the eyes of the cartoonist. Sometimes it hurts, but it sharpens the eye for grievances. And you can laugh!

A cordial invitation to an evening that aims to bring joy and hope!
