The Old Liberal Viennese Cardinal has turned against the "Ungehorsams-Initiative" in a cosmetic sense. For example: "Please cease travelling: I hope I don't have to put this request in the form of a command."
(kreuz.net, Vienna) Today the Viennese daily "Kurier" published excerpts from the protocols of the meeting of Vienna's priest council of the 10th of May. There the founder of the 'Ungehorsams-Initiative" [Call to Disobedience] , Father Helmut Schuller, is also a member.
The Viennese Cardinal Christoph von Shonborn announced at the meeting that he will not name any more deans who are members of the "Ungehorsams-Initiative": "I can not say, you are going to be a Dean and act at the same time in the Call to Disobedience."
No serious consequences
Additionally the Cardinal forbid the members of the Ungehorsams-Initiative, from travelling through the land and holding events advertising the Disobedience Initiative.
For that reason, there couldn't be any missions.
He asked "for a pause in the "travelling apostolate" in the next months": "Please cease travelling: I hope I won't have to put this request in the form of a command."
Cardinal Schonborn is in a glass house
Cardinal Schonborn indicated that it was unusual that the Pope had preached about the Initiative on Holy Thursday.
"We aren't just in our local church, but are a glass house to the entire world."
The Austrian church will be "very closely watched" -- said the Schism-Prince of the Church.
"I see the danger of Schism"
Fr. Schuller doesn't believe that the Archdiocese of Vienna can find a solution for his hyped questions.
"We don't want to climb out of the boat, but we to stand at the helm and discuss the course".
Cardinal Schonborn had addressed this, that these disobedient ones are creating an alternate structure: "I see the danger of a schism".
