Religious institution - Cardinal Marx emphasizes the significance of voting as an act of duty.
"We shouldn't underestimate the importance of maintaining the values of our parliament and the European Union based on the Christian vision of humanity and God for the future," said Marx.
He appreciated those who step up to serve, whether it's an honorary or professional role, for the benefit of Germany and Europe. "Our action as individuals is simply to head to the ballot box. It's a reflection of our freedom and responsibility."
The scriptural concept of the equality of humanity is the foundation for transcending self-centeredness and fostering a sense of community in society, according to Cardinal Marx. "From a Christian perspective, we can never endorse nationalism, egoism, populism, racism, or disdain for humanity."
Equally, the mention of God doesn't signify that some people should be elevated above others. "This kind of power play doesn't align with the noble ethos of political work, which upholds the constitution and our country's people," said Marx. "And it's sacrilegious to invoke this for such behavior."
