Cardinal Woelki public image and film appearance

Overview

Cardinal Rainer Maria Woelki of Cologne has recently reflected on his public image and his participation in the film ‘Horst Schlämmer sucht das Glück’. In the film, the Cardinal appears as himself in a supporting role.

While comedian Hape Kerkeling expressed surprise at the Cardinal’s involvement, Woelki described the experience as positive. He noted a personal difficulty with seeing himself on screen, which has prevented him from watching the film, but he praised Kerkeling for using humor to parody the church without making faith appear ridiculous.
