Cardinal Kurt Koch has been serving as president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity (now: Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity) since July 1, 2010 and at the same time as president of the Commission for Religious Relations with Judaism. Administrative duties have not impoverished or diminished his theological reflection. His thought is in many ways original and lucid. He refers with respect to tradition, but he breathes equally strongly the problems of the present. At the center of his reflections is the mystery of the Church and its vocation to promote unity among the witnesses of Christ. He is convinced that Christians are persecuted today not because they are Catholics or Orthodox, Protestants or Pentecostals, but because they are Christians. This text presents the figure and some views on his ecclesiology.
