Gerhard Maria Wagner
Gerhard Maria Wagner — born 1954 July 17, Wartberg ob der Aist, Austria〔(Gerhard Wagner ist neuer Weihbischof für Linz. )〕— is a catholic priest who was appointed auxiliary bishop of Linz, Austria, by Pope Benedict XVI on 2009 January 31. Amidst controversy over his views that sin caused Hurricane Katrina, Wagner resigned on 2009 February 15.〔Wagner had also made other newsworthy statements, such as alleging that the ''Harry Potter'' novels partake of satanism. ((Controversial Austrian priest now a bishop.) )〕
Wagner had already become widely known in the world press for his 2005 comment attributing Hurricane Katrina to God's ire toward the sins of New Orleans.〔(Cleric whose Katrina comment caused stir promoted; ) Veronika Oleksyn, (Wagner appointment in ''Huffington Post''. )〕 James Gill, columnist for the New Orleans ''Times-Picayune'', satirically called for the Pope next to elevate Wagner as Archbishop of New Orleans after protests from Roman Catholics in three New Orleans congregations over the merging of their churches by aging Archbishop Alfred Clifton Hughes.〔Gill, ("Holy Nutcase!" ) (''Times-Picayune'', 2009 February 4, p. B7).〕 The churches had been depopulated in part by out-migration resulting from Hurricane Katrina. Indeed, two months after Gill's writing, Hughes was engaged in encouraging the University of Notre Dame to disembark from plans to host President Barack Obama, a supporter of abortion, as commencement speaker,〔Bruce Nolan, "Hughes raps college over Obama honor" in ''Times-Picayune'' (New Orleans), 2009 April 3, Saint Tammany Edition, pp. A1, A4 (web version = (N.O. Archbishop criticizes Notre Dame for inviting Obama to speak at commencement). )〕 and within days of Hughes' announcement of opposition to Obama's appearance the ''Times-Picayune'' published a letter to the editor urging that Hughes should instead have complained to the Pope about the short-lived appointment of Wagner to be auxiliary bishop of Linz.〔H. Bruce Shreves, (Archbishop's outrage needed closer to home, ) ''Times-Picayune'', 2009 April 10, Saint Tammany Edition, p. B6.〕
Wagner's appointment as auxiliary bishop was met with controversy among Austrian Roman Catholics, with Linz Diocese Bishop Ludwig Schwarz supportive, an informal group of priests led by Upper Austria church dean Franz Wild opposed, and Graz-Seckau Diocese Bishop Egon Kapellari optimistic that the "crisis" would be overcome by "good will" from both supporters and opponents.〔Veronika Oleksyn, "Priests protest pope's bishop choice" in ''Times-Picayune'', 2009 February 12, Saint Tammany Edition, p. A11 (web version = ("Austria: Priests criticize pope's bishop pick"). )〕
Two weeks after his appointment Wagner requested its revocation because of the widespread criticism.〔(Papst um Rücknahme der Ernennung ersucht. )〕 In those 2 weeks the number of people leaving the Church had quadrupled in his Linz congregation, with similar or even higher numbers in the neighbouring communities, many of the ex-parishioners naming Wagner's appointment as the reason for their departure.〔(Hunderte Kirchenaustritte in Oberösterreich. )〕 The ''Times-Picayune'' reported Wagner's announcement in an Associated Press article concluding with a comparison between the Wagner situation and that surrounding the Holy See's decision to lift the excommunication of the bishops of the Society of St. Pius X, particularly Holocaust-denier Richard Williamson.〔Eric Willemsen, "Austrian pastor cedes promotion" in ''Times-Picayune'', 2009 February 16, Metro Edition, p. A3 (("Austria: 'Katrina' pastor giving up promotion"). )〕 The Vatican formally accepted the resignation and dispensed Wagner from his appointment on 2 March 2009.〔(Dispensa del santo padre ); Alessandra Rizzo, "Pope rescinds 'Katrina' pastor's promotion" in ''Times-Picayune'', 2009 March 3, Saint Tammany Edition, p. A8 (web version = (Pope rescinds promotion of 'Katrina' pastor). )〕
