I would like to introduce myself, I am +Rt.
Rev. Dr. Johannes-Joseph Lorenz, STD, aka Fr. Joseph. These
two names are my Franciscan names, just as Lucian was Fr.
Pulvermacher's Franciscan name. I was born on 20 Jan/42
in Danzig, which is now called Gdansk, Poland. My Mother
and I arrived in Switzerland in Sept/49, and we were
conditionally Baptized in Oct/49 at Konstantineum Convent and
Girls School in Chur Switzerland. We had our
First Confession on Holy Thurs/50, and our First Communion on
Easter Sunday/50, at the Convent-School. We were Confirmed on
Pentecost/50 at the Chur Cathedral, because we were going to
Canada. I went to many Catholic Schools including St.
Michael's Cathedral Choir School for Gr 8 in 55-56, were I
learned Piano, Organ, and Music transposing. I joined a cadet
movement in 1956 in the Medical Corps and in 58, I joined the
Medical Corps Militia as a private, were I was promoted
to Captain Medical Administrator. I left the Medical Corps in
70, and studied with OFM cap, and on 4 Oct/71 took life vows
as a Franciscan. I studied some more until 1983, on Palm
Sunday I was Ordained by Bishop Michael Farrell, using 1887
format, and I was appointed as Abbot for the Little Brothers
and Sisters of St. Francis, OFM min. I received LTh, a Masters
Degree in Theology on 15 Oct/1983. I was Consecrated Bishop on
1 Nov/83 by Archbishop George Shelly, assisted by Bishops
Michael and Joseph Farrell, again using 1887 format, and the
Archbishop and Bishops were Traditional Roman Catholics, who
would not accept Vatican II Decrees, Services, nor Novus Ordo.
I received my Doctorate in Theology on 15 Oct/88, and I was
Promoted to Major, in the Chaplain Corps, in 1998. I found Fr.
Lucian Pulvermacher AKA Pope Pius XIII in July 99 and I
visited him from 9 to 11 Nov/1999. I was elevated to
Archbishop on 15 Nov/99, and I was given Cardinal, in nomis,
on 15 Jan /2001. Pope Pius XIII had 8 Cardinals, in nomis,
plus Cardinals Bateman and Lyons, both were Excommunicate by
Pope because they disagreed with Pope Pius XIII not
being aware of His Alzhiemers dementia disease. I was promoted
to Lt. Col. On 10 July/2009 in Chaplain Corps. I started
working with Lay-Bro Daniel once back in contact with him in
the early spring of 2010, plus I visited Lay-Bro Daniel in
early May/2011. I took over as Spiritual Director for the tCC
in early september, fall of 2010.
Yours in Jesus & St.
