He heads a pontifical university, is a teacher, author and Benedictine from Kremsmünster (Upper Austria): Bernhard A. Eckerstorfer. In the interview he talks about his duties in Rome, the loss of relevance of the church, false reforms, but also about climate glue and a high school diploma question he asked Bilderbuch frontman Maurice Ernst.
“Kron”: Father Bernhard, you have lived in Rome since 2020 and are rector of the Pontifical Athenaeum Sant’Anselmo. How do you, as an Upper Austrian, get to the center of the Catholic Church?
Father Bernhard: (Laughs) I wonder that too. The Benedictines run an international university in Rome, and I have been on their academic council since 2017 because I have written some about monastic life. And because they hoped for new impulses, they looked for someone from outside. So I was asked – and then chosen.
