Wenkenhofgespräche: «Laut + Leis» with Benedictine and Provost Martin Werlen

Description

Cultural journalist Sandra Leis speaks live with Martin Werlen, Benedictine and long-time abbot of Einsiedeln Abbey, about fear, faith, and the courage to tackle life. "I am a Reformed," says Martin Werlen, today Provost of the Provostry of St. Gerold in Vorarlberg, sometimes slightly provocatively. With his pointed statements about the future of the Catholic Church, as an author and social media influencer, the long-time abbot of Einsiedeln Abbey (2001–2013) is known beyond national borders.
In conversation with Sandra Leis, the Benedictine talks about his view of faith in a crisis-ridden world and his personal strategies for courageously facing life – as he also described them in his book "Construction Sites of Hope. An Encouragement to Tackle Life" (2024). "Laut + Leis," the podcast of the Catholic Media Center, deals with relevant and current topics around religion, ethics, and society. Whether in conversation with an exciting guest or in a smart debate: Sandra Leis invites people who engage with the world, look beyond their own horizons, and have something to say. Loud and quiet tones, thoughts, and arguments that inspire and entertain can be heard. With a subsequent aperitif for all guests.
