Olaf Scholz will be elected Chancellor in a few days, in the middle of St. Nicholas Week. Does this point in time mean something? The holy bishop Nicholas was a proverbial good man, about whom there are many legends. For example, he is said to have rescued seafarers from danger of death by calming the raging storm. This is why paper boats used to be placed in front of the door, not boots. But St. Nicholas is also said to have, it was at the Council of Nicaea, pulled his theological adversary Arius violently by the beard and rubbed him one. Will Olaf Scholz learn something from that?
