Temple Mount setting: tension before the start of Ramadan
In Israel, fears of possible clashes are enormous before the start of Ramadan next Sunday. Hamas officials have called on Palestinians to march to Al-Aqsa Mosque and make every day of the fasting month a “day of clashes.” The Israeli government has not tightened access to the Temple Mount compared to previous years in order to prevent the situation from escalating further for the time being, but the security measures are enormous. Nikolaus Wildner reports on the mood in Jerusalem before the start of the fasting month of Ramadan.
Crime scene Mexico: A country between the cult of the Virgin Mary and murder of women
Mexico has many faces. The country is known for its culture, tourism and gastronomy, but also for violence, drug trafficking and corruption. Even the widespread Christian faith cannot change these negative facets. On the one hand, millions of believers make a pilgrimage to Mexico City every year for the feast of St. Mary Guadalupe, and on the other hand, an average of ten to eleven women are killed in Mexico every day. On the occasion of International Women’s Day, Alexandra Maritza Wachter reports on Marian devotion and violence against women in Mexico City.
Formative figure: Cardinal Franz König on the 20th anniversary of his death
Cardinal Franz König was a defining figure of the church in Austria and far beyond for decades. Born during the imperial era, he was appointed Archbishop of Vienna in 1956 and remained in office for almost three decades. The experience of the Second Vatican Council had a lasting influence on him. Important council documents bear his handwriting, and he subsequently advocated dialogue between religions and with non-believers. His interest in languages, cultures and religions made him a man of dialogue. 20 years ago, on March 13, 2004, Cardinal König died at the age of 99. Christian Rathner with an appreciation.
Medieval Doctors of the Church: What remains of Thomas Aquinas?
Thomas Aquinas is considered one of the greatest theologians and philosophers of the West. After studying in Naples and joining the Dominican Order, he became a professor in Paris at the age of 30. Building on Aristotle, rediscovered in the 12th century, Thomas Aquinas revolutionized theology. He wants to reconcile reason and revelation. His thesis that the basic principles of the world can be known without the Bible and only through reason brings him to the brink of heresy. But his Summa Theologica remained the basis of theological education for centuries. Today, however, it hardly plays a role in theology. What remains of Thomas Aquinas, who died 750 years ago? Peter Beringer looking for clues.
