Cardinal Schönborn to Announce "Restructuring" of Vienna Parishes
Now the Church has to be stuffed together, even in Vienna. Even the celebratory vocabulary can't wash away the sad reality.

(kreuz.net) Christoph Cardinal Schönborn of Vienna won't be naming any more priests "till further notice" to parishes.

The was covered by the newspaper 'Die Presse' yesterday in connection to insider information.

The reason for the measure: The pastor has rights against his Bishop, which the latter must respect.

This is scary. What I read is: parishes will be consolidated, beautiful churches will be abandoned in favor of newer modernist buildings.

+Schoenborn likes the old churches... but what will he do with them when he gets his claws on them after he sidesteps or disposes of the parish's conservative pastor.
