Research activity
Klieber's research concerns political Catholicism and contemporary church history. Klieber describes the attitude of the Catholic Church towards National Socialism during his rule in Austria as "limited loyalty", because in his opinion neither "resistance" or "church struggle" on the one hand, nor "adaptation" or "collaboration" on the other hand, describe the overall behavior of the church Responsible too. This differentiated view differs from the widespread tendency to see the church as a one-sided victim. Another research focus of Klieber is the modern history of piety as well as the religious history of everyday life . He is currently working on the Bishops' Lexicon of the Habsburg Monarchy (1804–1918).
