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:
“The principle office of history I take to be this: to prevent virtuous actions from being forgotten, and that evil words and deeds should fear an infamous reputation with posterity.”
—Tacitus (c. 55–117)
“A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“... that there is no other way,
That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
