...Germany’s Defence Minister Baron Karl-Theodor von und zu Guttenberg is someone to watch as both a potential future King... The one I would like to discuss today is about the devotion of Karl-Theodor von und zu Guttenberg to Roman Catholicism.
First here are several recent writings from PCG on this matter:
…zu Guttenberg hails from a staunchly traditional, moralist, right-wing, strongly Roman Catholic heritage…(Fraser R. Recently, religion has leaped into focus within the Bundeswehr courtesy of statements made by Germany’s minister of defense, Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg. During a recent interview with Germany’s Bild am Sontaag, Guttenberg confirmed that he is a “devout Christian” who prays regularly for his troops (Dec. 28, 2009). It is unusual for a senior minister of government in Germany to espouse his convictions so publicly and unashamedly…

Germany’s new generation of conservatives is looking for charismatic, staunchly traditional, right-wing, Roman Catholic statesmen of the caliber of Edmund Stoiber and Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg. (German Youth Celebrate Edmund Stoiber. December 1, 2009 | From theTrumpet.com)
The unabashed public declaration of his devout Catholicism by Germany’s minister of defense, Baron Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, in direct association with his declared prayers for German troops, and the public announcement that the Catholic Church is engaged in a new initiative geared to preparing both German troops to handle combat and their families to prepare for casualties, are but harbingers for Rome stepping up its efforts in the new year for a more aggressive proselytizing push across Europe.

The contrast between Guttenberg and Merkel is marked. He is a devoted Roman Catholic (Fraser R. A Void at Germany’s Helm. Philadelphia Trumpet, March 2010).
Guttenberg is also connected through part of his family line to the house of Habsburg. Strauss and Otto von Habsburg shared a common dream of a united Catholic Europe. (Flurry G. The Holy Roman Empire Is Back! Philadelphia Trumpet, February 2010).
