God Seeker

What holds the world together at its core

There are 7 billion people on our planet. Most of them believe in God or a higher being. But nobody has ever seen God. Is the belief in God only an illusion? Is it even worth looking for God? When the first Russian astronaut circled the Earth in his spaceship, he sparked down: «There is no God, there is no one up here!» But that seems like the wrong place to look. Nobody believes that God is floating around in space like an alien. Then where is He? Is it even reasonable to believe in something you can’t see, hear or taste? For many people, however, religion is of great importance in their lives. Therefore, the question of whether it is reasonable to search for God is not just a superfluous, unworldly brooding. It is an exciting question that concerns us all.

The God Seeker does not make any preliminary decisions, it invites us to make our own discoveries and reflections. It is divided into four areas: God, soul, world and world interpretation. If you click on a segment, further segments (questions) open up. You can «unscrew» them on a wheel. By double-clicking on a question you get a short introductory text, videos of individual philosophers and other philosophical positions appropriate to the question.

You can also test your philosophical knowledge. Check your philosophical positions by means of the quiz! Which philosophers do you agree with the most? Are you more the Plato type, or do you think more like Kant, or even maybe like Wittgenstein? You might also discover a thinker you didn’t know, such as Edith Stein or Alfred N. Whitehead. Expand your philosophical horizon. Whatever you decide in the end, the God Seeker will help you to give good reasons for your choice.

The God Seeker is primarily intended for tablets, but works also on larger smartphones.
   

Make Happy

Make yourself and others happy – with the free “Make Happy” app! Your good deeds become cash for a social or environmental project.

Your own happiness increases when you make others happy. “Make Happy” will help you with this.
It’s very simple: First, you select a funding project that you would like to support.
Every day, “Make Happy” sets you a daily task with which you can do good for those around you, the environment or yourself. Once you have completed these, you collect points for your project.

You can also send suggestions for good deeds to your friends. If your project has collected enough points, it will receive the required money from the Archdiocese of Cologne.

Canisius

A pilgrimage also includes a Canisius pilgrim pass. You can download this as an app on your cell phone.

Like the analogue model made of paper, it shows on the one hand what is still ahead of you, but also which stamps you have already collected.

With the help of various minigames, you can fill up your pilgrim passport over time and test your knowledge of places and people. For each station you visit, you can earn a stamp and improve your high score in competition with your fellow pilgrims.
