Early Years and Formation
Franz was the son of Franz Ehrle, a physician, and Berta von Frölich. He was educated at the Stella Matutina (Jesuit School) in Feldkirch. He joined the Society of Jesus the 29 September 1861. He followed the course of humanities at the College of Friedricksburg, Münster and later at Maria Laach Abbey in Germany where he studied philosophy (1865–1868). From 1868-1873 Ehrle was at Stella Matutina, where he taught, English, French and Philosophy. Because of an anti-Jesuit policy that followed the publication of the Kulturkampf in Germany, Ehrle, along with other German companions, had to carry on his studies abroad. He did his theology at Ditton Hall, Liverpool, England (1873–1877).
After being ordained priest on 24 September 1876 in Liverpool he did pastoral work in a home for the poor at Preston (England), before moving to Tervuren, Belgium (1878) where the German Jesuit periodical Stimmen aus Maria-Laach (in exile) had established its office.

Famous quotes containing the words early years, early, years and/or formation:
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“O troubled forms, O early love unfortunate and hard,
Time has estranged you into a jewel cold and pure;”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
“Every milestone of a firstborn is scrutinized, photographed, recorded, replayed, and retold by doting parents to admiring relatives and disinterested friends. . . . While subsequent children will strive to keep pace with siblings a few years their senior, the firstborn will always have a seemingly Herculean task of emulating his adult parents.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
“The formation of an oppositional world view is necessary for feminist struggle. This means that the world we have most intimately known, the world in which we feel “safe” ... must be radically changed. Perhaps it is the knowledge that everyone must change, not just those we label enemies or oppressors, that has so far served to check our revolutionary impulses.”
—Bell (c. 1955)
