Gerhard Maria Wagner is one of the most popular and richest Theologian who was born on July 17, 1954 in Wartberg ob der Aist, Upper Austria, Austria.
On 10 October 1978, Wagner was ordained to the priesthood of the Roman Catholic Church by Cardinal László Lékai, Archbishop of Esztergom. Since 1988, he has been parish priest of Windischgarsten, Upper Austria in the Diocese of Linz.
Wagner became widely known in the world press for his 2005 comment attributing Hurricane Katrina to God’s ire toward the sins of New Orleans. James Gill, columnist for the New Orleans Times-Picayune, satirically called for the Pope next to elevate Wagner as Archbishop of New Orleans after protests from Roman Catholics in three New Orleans congregations over the merging of their churches by aging Archbishop Alfred Clifton Hughes. The churches had been depopulated in part by out-migration resulting from Hurricane Katrina. Indeed, two months after Gill’s writing, Hughes was engaged in encouraging the University of Notre Dame to disembark from plans to host President Barack Obama, a supporter of abortion, as commencement speaker, and within days of Hughes’ announcement of opposition to Obama’s appearance the Times-Picayune published a letter to the editor urging that Hughes should instead have complained to the Pope about the short-lived appointment of Wagner to be auxiliary bishop of Linz.
