Lecture by Professor Walter Hoeres

On October 15th Professor Walter Hoeres in Hattersheim gave a lecture on Pastor Hans Milch  (1924-1987), the founder of the chapel of St. Athanasius.

This is where professor Hoeres studied with Pastor Milch and then fought alongside him later against the decline of the Church, and learned to know him very well.  He impressively adumbrated for his listeners the thought of his colleague.

Father Hans Milch was raised in a strict protestant family home in Wiesbaden and converted during his captivity in the war in France to the Catholic Faith, which was a tremendous shock for his family.

He studied back then with the Jesuits in St. George and finally became the pastor in Hattersheim.  Because of his sympathy for Archbishop Lefebvre he was defrocked from his office and founded actio spes unica a movement of Traditional Catholics, who occupied the chapel in Hattersheim.

He was especially well known for his preaching.   One consideration which he always stressed was that Catholics should form an elite in society.  It was an interesting lecture which brought listeners closer to one who was zealous for the Faith.
