Press Reports

Religion & Politics. Michael Hoelzl has been acting as guest correspondent for the Catholic Press Agency to report from the late Queen's funeral and its theo-political meaning and impact. Michael followed the memorial service with a few hundred others at a public viewing at the University and then in a pub. "It was interesting that the moment the service started, people lost interest... Nobody here could do anything with the liturgical language", he commented. The analysis sparked quite a lot of interest in German speaking countries and went a little bit viral! For German press engagement, see here, here, and here.
