Franz Joseph Weinzierl (preacher)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Franz Joseph Weinzierl (born December 24, 1777 in Pfaffenberg , † January 1, 1829 in Regensburg ) was a German Roman Catholic clergyman.

Life

Weinzierl graduated from the (today's) Wilhelmsgymnasium in Munich in 1794 . He then completed the compulsory two-year basic course (= philosophy) at the adjoining lyceum and then switched to studying theology at the Lyceum in Regensburg . In 1801 he was ordained a priest and was then chaplain in Penting, a current district of Neunburg vorm Wald . He did not stay in these conditions long. Weinzierl went to Regensburg as early as 1802, where he received a professorship at the local grammar school.

He opened this teaching post in November of that year in the three lower classes, and held it until 1806. Around this time he was called to Regensburg by Archbishop Karl Theodor von Dalberg as cathedral preacher . He later received the dignity of cathedral chapter. There he worked for a number of years for the good of his community, which, with his death, lost in him a loyal pastor and popular pulpit speaker.

Act

One learns the moral warmth that animated his popular lecture from the collection of his sermons published after his death in 1831. At the same time his posthumous writings of religious content appeared in two volumes. Weinzierl translated the well-known work of Thomas von Kempen of the Imitation of Christ, along with six edification writings by that famous mystic and moralist.

He was best known for several writings referring to the liturgy of his church. This includes rhymed translations of the lamentations of Jeremiah (1805), translations of the seven penitential psalms (1814), the sayings of wisdom (1821), hymns and songs for Catholic worship (1817) and others.
