The Church should be present where life is rough and harsh, often loveless and unjust, according to Pope Francis. There, it is in its element. And why? Because faith is the best, and indeed the most human message; it is a message of love, joy, and hope that applies to every person, indeed to all of creation. The Christian faith encourages us to think as broadly as possible about God's mercy and goodness, helping people to understand themselves far beyond the role of consumer, buyer, and cost factor. This faith must be witnessed. After an assessment of the situation, this volume primarily addresses questions of practical faith transmission; it includes theological reflections supplemented by pastoral-theological considerations oriented towards practice. The concluding section is dedicated to important faith figures, particularly Karl Rahner and Eugen Drewermann.
