Vienna mourns the loss of Hannes Androsch: A life for the Old Catholic Church!

Wien, Österreich - The old Catholic church mourns the loss of Hannes Androsch, who significantly shaped religious life in the community. In a moving obituary, signed by Bischöfin Maria Kubin and Synodal Council Chairman Herbert Psenner, Androsch is described as a generous supporter who was not only interested in the church, but also for the old Catholic religious education of his children and grandchildren. His commitment was recognized in numerous celebrations, where he was an estimated guest. Bischöfin Kubin remembered a meeting with him, during which he described himself and told himself as the "most spiritual agnostic" and told that he was busy looking for a spiritual experience. "May his experience with the divine now be completed in eternity", she expressed her wish. Kathpress reported on his services .

The path of the bishop

Bishop Maria Kubin, who grew up in a traditionally Roman Catholic family, has a deep relationship with the church and psychotherapy. In addition to her theological training, which she acquired at the University of Graz, she headed meditation courses and was active in her community as editor and cantor. In 2008 she transferred to the Old Catholic Church and was consecrated to the priestess in 2019. Their bishops in June 2023, led by Archbishop Bernd Wallet, represented an important milestone in her career. With the motto "Say as a prophet!" she affirms her commitment to a modern and lively church.
