The Vatican has stripped a prominent Austrian priest who has spear-heading calls for church reform of his right to use the title monsignor.
Rome also said today that Helmut Schüller was no longer a “Chaplain of His Holiness”, Reuters reported. However he remains a priest.
Fr Schüller, a former vicar-general to Vienna’s archbishop, Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, had been given the honorary title in his capacity as head of the
Austrian branch of the Catholic charity Caritas.
