Ingo Dollinger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joachim Ingo Dollinger (born January 23, 1929 in Schwäbisch Gmünd ; † June 11, 2017 in Opfenbach ) was a German Roman Catholic theologian , priest and head of the Institutum Sapientiæ , the college of the angel factory in Anápolis , Brazil . He also held functions in the Vatican City and in the Diocese of Augsburg .

Life

Since 1948, Dollinger studied philosophy and theology at the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen . On July 25, 1954 he received in Zwiefalten in the diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart , the ordination of Bishop Carl Joseph Leiprecht . In 1974 he received his doctorate with the dissertation Comparison of Marriage Doctrine in the German-Language Overall Representations of Catholic Moral Theology for a Doctor of Theology. In the same year he moved from the Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart to the Diocese of Augsburg and became a consultant in the local secretariat for non-believers and non-Christians of the Diocese of Augsburg, where he became pastor and secretary of Bishop Josef Stimpfle in 1982 . Under his influence, the bishop came to a negative assessment of Freemasonry , which was then adopted by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in Rome. In 1986 he was incardinated in the Diocese of Augsburg and was consultor of the Congregation for the Processes of Beatification and Canonization .

From 1983 to 2004 Dollinger was the rector of the college of the Engelwerk Institutum Sapientiæ in the diocese of Anápolis , which was headed by the Canon Regulars of the Holy Cross , where he was professor of moral theology . Since 1986, together with the Engelwerk priests Heinrich Morscher and Richard Pühringer, he has supported the Catholic Scouting Society of Europe (KPE), which was founded by the former Jesuit Andreas Hönisch , in the establishment of an order that arose in 1988 as the Servants of Jesus and Mary (SJM). According to his own statements, he did not belong to the Engelwerk himself. From December 1981 to February 1995 he worked as a parish administrator in Petersdorf and in the neighboring town of Alsmoos . During this time there were disputes about the youth work of the KPE in both places. The conflict, which was the focus of Dollinger, became known nationwide and was discussed in public. At the age of 75, forced by a serious illness, he gave up his work in Brazil.

In 2016, Dollinger claimed that the third secret of Fátima was, according to Pope Benedict XVI. not fully published. In the unpublished part, there was talk of “a bad council and a bad mass that is to come in the near future”. In his first press release since resigning from the papacy in 2013, the Pope emeritus denied Dollinger's information and stated that he had never spoken to Dollinger about Fátima . Dollinger spent the last years of his life with the St. Petrus Brotherhood in the Opfenbach district of Wigratzbad . He was the author of several theological books.

Reception in the film

According to the director and screenwriter Hans Christian Schmid, Ingo Dollinger's relationship with Engelwerk and his work with school children in the Petersdorf community formed the real background of the fictional television film Heaven and Hell from 1994.
