The rock is close to the Forum of German Catholics , which, according to its own statements, is aimed at committed Catholic lay people who profess the “unadulterated and unabridged” faith, as summarized in the Catechism of the Catholic Church . The founder and chairman of the forum Hubert Gindest has been editor-in-chief of Fels since 1996 .
