‘Our realities of life should be shaped much more by the Word of God than our understanding of the Word of God by our realities of life,’ Cardinal Rainer Woelki said.
'Just because many today have difficulties with the faith of the Church or do not understand it, we cannot say that faith and doctrine are wrong or no longer relevant to a modern, contemporary, democratic society,' said Cardinal Woelki.
