Was zählt im Leben, Anselm Grün? | Sternstunde Religion | SRF Kultur

He is by far one of the most widely read spiritual authors and a Benedictine monk: Anselm Grün. 400 of his books are available, and he has written even more. What drives this man of God and why is he so popular? Topics in this episode: 00:00 What ultimately matters in life? 15:49 What is the art of growing old? 26:27 What makes you believe in God, Anselm Grün? 50:45 What criticisms do you have of the Church? 55:54 You are in favor of women priests, the Pope is not. What do you see that he doesn't? 80 years old and not a bit tired—that's what anyone who meets the Benedictine monk from Münsterschwarzach Abbey in Bavaria thinks. He travels in a VW bus; none of the millions he earns from his books goes into his own pocket, and he doesn't need more than 50 euros for pocket money. Anselm Grün is modest. Even regarding his own achievements: The only thing that matters to him is that he can lift people up with his work. He advises managers as well as couples, the sick as well as the healthy. And readers of his books often report that he has healed them. What gift does this man possess? What does he draw his own hope from? What is the art of aging, and what is life actually worth living for? Olivia Röllin asks these questions in a Sternstunde interview.

That is our approach. We conduct social debates and profound conversations that entertain and inspire. Religion can be many things, and it reaches deep into the heart of society. From Zen meditation to the abuse of power by the church, from football fan cults to the gender debate: We approach the broad topic of religion, faith, and spirituality with critical distance. ____________________ Moderated by: Olivia Röllin ____________________ #SRFKultur #SRFKulturSternstunden #SRFSternstunde #Religion #Church #AnselmGruen #SRF #Culture
