How seminarians pray



in the Diocese of Linz.There was one ordination this year, that of the notorious Father Golatz. The ordination advertised above was postponed after he called for a "massive resistance to Rome". He promised silence in order to obtain Holy Orders but how long he remains silent is anyone's guess. The scandal of the affair was covered by a deal to ordain a priest in the old Latin rite to prove just how inclusive the new Bishop is.

The problem is that the old Bishop who being a Benedictine should have retired back to his monastery didn't and uses the influence of the radical Catholics in the Diocese to pressure the new Bishop. It is very revealing that in the seminary that the portrait of the old Bishop still hasn't been engraved with the year of his retirement.
