Max Kully

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Max Kully , actually Maximilian Kully (born August 20, 1878 , † October 1, 1936 , citizen of Arlesheim ) was a Swiss Catholic pastor in Arlesheim from 1913 to 1936, who became known in his lectures and writings as an opponent of Rudolf Steiner .

Life

Max Kully was the son of Wilhelm Kully (1848–1915) and came from Olten . His great-grandfather was the politician Eugen Madeux . He initially trained as a businessman and then studied theology on a second educational path. In 1910 he was ordained a priest, worked briefly as parish vicar in Lucerne and became a village pastor in Arlesheim, the neighboring parish of Dornach . From 1914 to 1917 he was editor of the Catholic Sunday newspaper of the canton of Baselland and its surroundings , the direction of which he handed over to the ultramontane pastor Markus Arnet (1885–1951).

Kully, a supporter of the action française , was an opponent of the Anthroposophical Society and especially of Rudolf Steiner, against whom he published several writings and articles in the Catholic Sunday Gazette, initially under the pseudonyms Spectator and Hilarius. From anthroposophical circles, Roman Boos in particular took a stand against the diatribes, as did Louis Michael Julius Werbeck in 1924. In 1921 and 1924, Kully sought litigation against Rudolf Steiner and the Anthroposophical Society. The trial was won and the judgment had to be published in the weekly “Das Goetheanum” at the expense of the defendant . On Kully's attempts to prevent the construction of the Dornach Goetheanum, see also First Goetheanum . After Steiner's death in 1925, he settled again with the 1926 published The Truth about Theo-Anthroposophy as a phenomenon of cultural decline with "Steinerism".
