Sunday is the Catholic weekly newspaper of the Archdiocese of Vienna .
history
As early as 1784 to 1789 a "Wienerische Kirchenzeitung" appeared, which was published by the pastor of Probstdorf and provost of Bienco in Hungary , Marcus Anton Wittola . Wittola defended the state church ideas of Emperor Joseph II.
On April 15, 1848, Sebastian Brunner founded the “Vienna Church Newspaper for Faith, Knowledge, Freedom and Law in the Catholic Church”, of which he was the main editor until 1865. In it Brunner stood up for the rights of the Catholic Church , which he defended against Josephinism and the anti-church press. He also established the “Kirchenzeitung” as a platform for anti-Semitism in Vienna. Albert Wiesinger followed Brunner , who was editor-in-chief until 1874 and supported Cardinal Joseph Othmar von Rauscher in the fight against liberalism .
The magazine was re-founded by Johann Mörzinger after the First World War in 1919 under the name “Wiener Kirchenblatt” and is the successor to the “Wiener Kirchenzeitung”, which was discontinued in 1874. After the National Socialists came to power, it had to be discontinued in 1938 and could not appear again until October 1945. In 1964 the name was changed to "Wiener Kirchenzeitung" and on November 28, 2004 to "Der Sonntag".
