In the search for a bishop
The bishop von St. Pölten obviously inquired in Rome around a bishop and therefore a list with five possible candidates at the Tiber sent. The names.
(, pc. Pölten kreuz.net) present strives the bishop von St. Pölten, Mons. Klaus Küng, around a bishop.

As well known the Vatikan as well as the resignation took of Mons. Kurt Krenn (69) in October 2004 also the resignation of the past bishop Heinrich carnival (76) on.

In the meantime Pölten five name circulate themselves of clergyman, the Mons in pc. Küng as bishops to obviously present could. The list is to already be present the Roman Bischofskongregation.

A candidate on the list is the present Generalvikar Leopold Schagerl. It has itself already as Mons. Küngs „man for the rough “works satisfactorily. Already as ministers Schagerl was considered as will-strongly, occasionally inconsiderate and sometimes brutal.

Its large passion is the hunt. He always spends each free minute with shooting in field and forest on wild animals. From 1994 to 2004 he understood himself it as director of the bischöflichen revenue board, and its circle of friends the diözesaneigenen hunt reasons zuzuschustern.

Schagerl a typical „man of the center is theological church political “and - as it is not called - ideological modernist. In the present pc. Pöltener establishment one would have to classify it due to its rather conservative Umgangsformen rather as „right outside “. But in the reason each ideology is appropriate for it like at all each form of the Intellektualität far.

Likewise on the list the name stands of rain Anton Leichtfried. It actual although actually still too young - the first class candidate for its liberals Prälaten Franz Schrittwieser admitted positions. Schrittwieser was up to its joggle by bishop Krenn of rain at the seminar for priests pc. Pölten. He is presently director/conductor of the Propädeutikums - a interdiözesanen Vorbereitungslehrganges for future seminar for priestsists - in the down-Austrian city horn.

Rain Leichtfried hardly possesses seelsorgliche experiences and was never a minister. He is pupil of the left Freiburger Dogmatikers Gisbert Greshake. Theologically it always held back itself and remarkably few published.

During the re-opening of the pc. in the autumn 2005, rain Leichtfried announced Pöltener of seminar for priests to want to open the house in the future also for different goals and groups. To the first guests the ultralinke „forum XXIII belonged on 24 November 2005, which is the movement „we church “is close.

It is so improbable that rain Leichtfried the next bishop of pc. Pölten will to accept the more is that it will arrive sooner or later to bischöflichen will. By Mons. Küng it took on its list, sets it to it a further step.

A third name is that one of the Dechanten Johann Zarl. He is favored for many years of the emeritierten bishop carnival as a bishop candidate. Of Mons. Carnival seems to have been set it also regularly on lists of possible bishop candidates.

Zarl is a typical priest today: usually civilian dressed, the layman committees hörig, liturgically extremely flexibly and personally rather inconspicuously.

A fourth name on the list is a present secretary of the Austrian bishop conference, Ägidius Zsifkovics. It is called of many „outstanding man “: intelligently, grant, gradlinig, although a little too carefully and reservedly.

Zsifkovics is to have always striven to eliminate the conflict between cardinal beautiful fount and bishop Krenn or at least contain. Its efforts remained however without success.

The clergyman is a good canonist and - which ambiguously actual a just as good diplomat. For today into the Diözese pc. Pölten dominating left forces would probably be a bishop Zsifkovics no first class candidate. It knows the power mechanisms in pc. Pölten well and is bishop Krenn again and again to have encouraged, people such as Mons. Carnival to deprive Prälat of power Schrittwieser or Prälat Eichinger - the boss of the press building -.

On the list is finally also Pater Karl Wallner. The Cistercian belonged to the pin holy cross and is the dean of the there theological institute. It is considered as a teaching profession-faithful Dogmatiker, which is strongly of not undisputed Swiss theologian Hans Urs of Balthasar affected.

Pater Wallner embodies the typical theologian of the era Johannes Paul II.: conservative theology in youth-moved garb. Bad tongues maintain that he the desk - or in the church - spend more time in the Fitneßstudio than at. It is well-known that he would become gladly bishop.

That Pater Wallner understands something not only of theology but also of politics, he proved, when he rejected some pc. Pöltener seminarists, which wanted to set off after holy cross, one year ago. The reason: It wants to be relationship to Mons. Küng do not cloud. As students also some members of the Kongregation were rejected `Servi Jesu et Mariae' from blind market. They were the image-conscious Pater obviously also not completely go-going your.

Now one hopes that the pc. have Pöltner bishop candidate in Rome more luck than, the cardinal beautiful fount submitted the two candidates recently for the Erzdiözese Vienna.

They are to have been allegedly rejected.

Is really merry, which reports kreuz.net in such a way everything over the candidates: who goes on the hunt, who in the Fitnesstudio… only which in the broom closet of the Mädchengymnasiums beautiful mountain of the Piusbruderschaft did not pass, before a nun and a Pater left these, brought up for discussion. Why actually not? (was only a rhetorical question)

pippobouno: I thought we am catholic…
Thus, I am to write here according to kreuz.net something with „respect for the catholic faith and moral teachings “. But it hurts me dreadfully to have to read on one „catholic “side such irreverent articles. I thought always, here am professionally worked, but that is genuinly bad: Denunzierung up to „go not more “. Here things are wurscht stated… however is eh. O.k. I defines itself thus publicly as a fan holy cruisers of the P. Karl - and he may have its errors (my quality, thank God - where then otherwise the grace is to gain a foothold, if not in our weakness…), but one must say also to the fact that it is „a monk “. Is called: 5,15 o'clock it goes praying loosely with… and if one white, what it otherwise still everything has at jobs over, does not talk one any longer so thoughtlessly. ERGO: I please around taking „the cross of the gentleman “seriously thereby the others see „as much it to be loved “. That is not Wischiwaschi, but thus Radikalität is meant.

sebastianus: Zsifkovics: Number 1 for our Diözese
Schagerl and bishop there one must watch out that he does not even confound the staff with the rifle. That sits the whole night on the high conditions and shoots the animals down. Cool and rüpelhaft as he is, does not arrive not so good he as a bishop. A failure!
Leichtfried is simply away a laughter number. With its Dauergrinser, which does not resemble the face of Helmi it seriously taken. With its oh so modern attitude is it so far come… rear rear in addition should the cathedral be not so empty, how seminar for priests or? That will be still surprised which it as rain everything will still in such a way expect long ' s will not any longer last. It could smile itself rather with „please “apply, because it does not need there to take responsibility.
Zarl ever does not belong!
Zsifkovics is diplomatic the absolute number 1st Integere personality, best knowledge in the church, its opinions a dream, 1a, would be a large benediction for our Diözese
P. Karl is to remain in its monastery monk and train there far its muscles.

Thanks at kreuz.net for this marvelous article.

diakonos: Bishop lists of candidates
Such lists normally are sub secreto pontificio.
Who chatted? - Or kreuz.net invented simply everything (sources significant-proves none indicated)???
Thus only support for gossip and gossip is given!!! For the old persons of church fathers the silence was still another large virtue - also with kreuz.net the schwätzerische modernism did introduction hold now???
