History
Hilarios Karl-Heinz Ungerer was ordained priest twice in 1967 in the Free Catholic Church Movement in Germany, and was consecrated Bishop several years later. Having established a "shop church" on one of the main thoroughfares of downtown Munich, in 1976 he became part of the German branch of the Mariavite Church, a Polish Marian Catholic movement that broke away from the Roman Catholic Church in 1909 and entered into communion with the Old Catholic Church of the Netherlands. On 6 October 1976 Ungerer was consecrated bishop (sub-conditione) by the Mariavite Bishop Norbert Maas, but on 8 August 1978 he achieved demission.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“If man is reduced to being nothing but a character in history, he has no other choice but to subside into the sound and fury of a completely irrational history or to endow history with the form of human reason.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a “will to renewal.” This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of “crises”Mof rupture, repudiation and resistance.... When there is no “crisis,” there is stagnation, petrification and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“It’s not the sentiments of men which make history but their actions.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
