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:
“They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“In every election in American history both parties have their clichés. The party that has the clichés that ring true wins.”
—Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)
“Look through the whole history of countries professing the Romish religion, and you will uniformly find the leaven of this besetting and accursed principle of action—that the end will sanction any means.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
