Franz Henrich

Franz Henrich (born November 8, 1931 in Niedergailbach ) is a German Catholic priest , theologian and author and was director of the Catholic Academy in Bavaria . In this capacity he also published numerous works.

Life

Franz Henrich was born in Niedergailbach in the Saarland into the family of a teacher and had three siblings. The father died in 1945 as a soldier in World War II , but the family did not find out about this until 1948. After graduating from high school, he began to study theology in 1952/53. He financed his studies as a worker in a stone factory, as a beer driver and as a local reporter. He took up his first chaplaincy as a youth chaplain in Ludwigshafen am Rhein . In 1967 he succeeded Karl Forster as director of the Catholic Academy in Bavaria and held this office for more than 30 years until the year 2000.

In May 1990 Henrich described the Engelwerk as a "band of robbers, which is partly covered by bishops". It declares itself very pious, but is simply a sect . Henrich was then insulted in writing in October 1990 by the Engelwerk supporter Eva Maria Braunweiler from Ottobrunn as a “sheer rationalist, time dwarf and desk doer ” who desperately needed a major exorcism and secreted “soul mud”.
