Cardinal
Gerhard Müller, the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the
Faith, is one of the most prominent Catholic figures today. As a
leading cardinal inside the Vatican, he has a privileged perspective
on the worldwide state of the Church and on the most pressing
theological, doctrinal, and moral questions of our times, which he
strives to answer in this interview in clear and inspiring terms, as
did his predecessor Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger in The
Ratzinger Report.
What
are these questions? What do their answers call forth from the
believer? Many people today do not see the lack of faith as a major
problem in their lives; rather, what worries them profoundly is the
lack of hope. The key questions therefore involve hope and whether
the Christian faith as articulated by the Catholic Church can offer
it.
This
interview with Cardinal Müller therefore takes hope as its basic
subject. It is a "report on hope", that is, an in-depth
discussion of hope in relation to faith and love, truth and mercy; in
relation to Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church; and in relation to
the family and the demands of contemporary society.
