He was investigated by the Church for six years and ultimately told he was not suitable or eligible to teach theology at Catholic University.

I heard that story too. Nice. Also mentioned some theologians predicting that if the German Cardinal gets elected (Ratzenberger or whoever he is), Catholics wanting a more moderate church will have to take solace in the prospect that at least it can't get much
worse.
