Is it a topic that Friedrich Merz will not be at the funeral service for Francis in Rome? But certainly! The Chancellor in Spe would have sized and should have quickly flying himself if necessary. Doing shows that.
Yes, right, Merz is primarily chosen so that the trade in the Temple of Germany is buzzing again and the refugees no longer find hostel here. It is honest that he does not fly to the Pope.
But it is still wrong that Merz and his entourage do not take the appointment so seriously. The Catholic world is not exactly small, 1.4 billion people look at Rome, on Rome. A number of heads of state and heads of government want to prove their reverence. Even Donald Trump.
Want to prepare the party congress of his CDU is the narrower worldview. Especially since this should not be that difficult, the party has long since decided to be a chancellor party again. Surprises are not to be expected. They didn’t offer the recent speeches and ideas of the Merz.
And anyway: who is he? What is he? What are his values? Christian Democrat, Catholic and still suspected of being secular – the Federal President, Social Democrat, Christian, Merz had invited to come along against the background.
The protocol should not be so important
Incidentally, it is one of which he sits on a log. May the outgoing Federal Chancellor, Social Democrat who spoke his oath of office without “so true to me God” – still have priority. His term is finally. Merz is already overwhelming in effect.
The participation of the upcoming Chancellor would be unmistakable in every respect. Not least for all doubters in the Christian union. After all, some still know that vanity is one of the main reasons, as well as excessive pride.
The sentence of Francis applies: “The humility is the gateway to all virtues.” In this sense, an even greater signal would have been possible: if Merz had led the entire Christian democratic and Christian social faction to Rome! As your kind of company outing, and as a trip to self -reflection.
Then Markus Söder in his capacity as a CSU chairman, at her joint invitation, also responsible for the Evangelical Church, and that would make it clear: for the two there is something that is greater than the “I” of the individual.
Well, chance wasted. And that means: not wanted.
