The Bishop of the Curia, Josef Clemens, assumes control of the Klosterneuburg monastery
Vienna (OTS) – As the news magazine profil, which will appear in its new edition on Monday, reports, the Vatican appointed German curia officer Josef Clemens as administrator of Klosterneuburg Abbey. The 73-year-old is no stranger to the Vatican, after all, for 19 years he was the right-hand man of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, then prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and later Pope Benedict XVI. It is not yet clear how long Clemens will be in charge of Klosterneuburg. The spokesman for the monastery confirms his appointment at the request of profile, but says: “We still do not know more details.” By decree of May 26, 2020, the “Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life” in Rome – better known as the Religious Congregation – has an apostolic visit to the monastery of the Augustinian canons in Klosterneuburg. The reason was, among other things, improperly processed abuse cases that profil had made public. On July 3 the visitor’s report went to Rome. Now they have come to the conclusion that the pen must be pulled out of the crisis by an outsider, reports profil.
