Recently the diocese Augsburg set a blameless priest with immediate effect before the Kirchentüre. Now it may look for each other „another vocational perspective “.

Augsburger bishop Walter Mixa
(, Lindau kreuz.net) on Friday a Pfarrversammlung of the Lindauer of quarters island, Reutin treated and carouses those in fact dismissal of its minister, Hw. Thomas Balogh.

Reported those the local newspaper `Swabian ones Zeitung'.

The Swabian city Lindau is because of the eastern bank of the Bodensee and church belongs to the diocese Augsburg.

Minister Balogh led the minister title, without being installed minister. Therefore the diocese Augsburg on five could give time off it years.

To the Pfarrversammlung on Friday appeared
Popular priest
The majority of the believers is frightened over the dismissal, a part cried even.
approximately 200 believer.

„Many “of them reacted to the unfounded dismissal frightened - `the Swabian one reported Zeitung'. the majority of the believers had itself - partially under tears - behind Hw. Balogh posed.

She wanted to know, how it could come to „giving time off “.

The diocese Augsburg remained the answer guiltily. It did not send a representative for meeting.

Present only the responsible dean was, Msgr. Ortwin Gebauer. Regarded it not as its task to justify „here why the bishop made the decision in such a way “.

He promised that for particularly with children and young people liked to Hw. Balogh a successor will give. That is to worry particularly about the child and youth work. Who it will be, is not well-known yet.

Sixty letters and no seeing
`The Swabian Zeitung' seizes the situation from view of Hw. Balogh and „its supporter “together:

Dean Gebauer intrigued with the bishop, in order to reach the replacement of the minister Balogh liked with many Lindauern. This asked the dean several times for clarifying discussions. That however always rejected the dean.

In the bischöflichen Ordinariat it was explained to the set off priest that more than sixty support letters from Lindau are useless.

The Originalton of the Generalvikars: „That you cannot forget, to Monsignore want. “

Priesterlichen way consider

It stressed that Hw. Balogh ministers is not, but „only a priest to the cooperation “:

„A giving time off of it had become on the other hand necessary due to pastoraler reasons on the one hand and personal reasons of the priest. “

„We give it the opportunity to consider and examine its priesterlichen way whether another vocational perspective can be possibly considered. “

Such a orientation phase offers the possibility of a religious company.

The Diözese Augsburg will financially support the priest in this time obligation in accordance with.

naturmensch8: installed minister
Does one know humans INSTALLING? The catholic church is not only doublemorally, contradictory, but also HUMAN BEING-HOSTILELY!! Particularly kinder-und misogynically is it.
The church lost at reliability. It can preach about contempt for mankind, but not about God and brotherly love!

1. Religious one, which obviously offended against the canonical order or with „we are church “and similar initiatives engage, are not given time off, geschwiege are suspended.

2. Now you speak suddenly of „facts “, which believe to know you from the reporting. In the reporting however at all no facts were called; just as little those were called allegedly „confidential reasons “, which are to have led to giving time off the clergyman.

3. They placed the word „crashed priest existence “into the area. I call that an unjustified Vorverurteilung.

Amusingly only that one would argue exactly in reverse with left priests.

Who „is one “? Do you mean me? When did I argue with „left priests “as?

I ask myself, from where you want to actually know that everything, what you to know believe.

Again, because you do not understand it apparent really: The facts know you exactly the same as I from the reporting. Thus your question quoted above is probably answered. And that, which believed something here to KNOWLEDGE, were you, because after their - meanwhile taken back words - it was OBVIOUS that a faith-faithful priest should be made mouth dead here. THEY believed that from the outset to KNOWLEDGE - I however had spoken from the beginning only of INDICATIONS.

I proceed anyhow from the innocence assumption, until the opposite is proven. And the burden of proof is in this case now once on sides Augsburger Diözesanleitung.

The priest is spoken not guilty, is subject to no church punishment, but the diocese does for five year without its services. It is paid even, it is not continued to use on a permanent post of the diocese. That is not verdict of guilty, but natural right of the church upper one. The bishop alone decides, who gets which places. It is also no monastery abbott before kreuz.net account guilty, only because it replaces its guest brother by another and old no new task more assigns.
