Francis Advertises Anselm Grün

Francis Advertises Anselm Grün

On FebruarY 15, Francis talked to the priests of his diocese in the Roman basilica Saint John in Lateran. He told them to read a book of the ultra-liberal German Benedictine Father Anselm Grün. Grün’s writing style is characterized by pronounced sentimentalism and relativism, similar to Francis’ own way of thinking.

Grün is influenced by the psychologist Carl Gustav Jung and Asiatic meditation techniques. Even Protestant EvangelicalS accuse him of syncretism and promoting shamanism.

Although still a monk in the German monastery of Münsterschwarzach, Grün has utterly lapsed from the Catholic Faith. He relativizes the importance of Christ’s miracles or death. According to him there is no difference between Holy Mass and a Protestant Last Supper. For him, Our Lady is in no way different from any other Christian. He would like to get rid of the Immaculate Conception. Grün is a strong supporter of Francis.
