What annoys Christoph Schönborn at the end of his era of ecclesiastical work as a cardinal, what pains him and what he is looking forward to.

Christoph Schönborn proves his humor in every situation. "I can't imagine what attracts so much attention to me," says the cardinal and archbishop at the beginning of his very well-attended last press conference. It is shortly before his solemn retirement, before his 80th birthday, and his successor has not yet been chosen. He has not prepared a statement, but would like to answer questions. Any and all.

"Krone": What was your biggest mistake, your greatest success?
Cardinal Christoph Schönborn: That there is greater unity among the bishops. The number of members of the Catholic Church is a pain point. There is nothing to gloss over. The number of Catholics in the Archdiocese of Vienna has fallen by around 20 percent during my time in office.
