Alfred Seiwert-Fleige
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rev. Alfred Paul Seiwert-Fleige is a Roman Catholic priest and former Palmarian Catholic/Carmelite Holy Face Order and later on Traditionalist Catholic bishop (vagant) who resides in Rosenheim, Germany.
He was ordained a priest by Roman Catholic Archbishop Ngo Dinh Thuc for the then Carmelite Order of the Holy Face on December 31, 1975 and later Antipope Dominguez consecrated him a bishop for his September, 1978 founded Palmarian Catholic Church on November 1, 1978 at El Palmar de Troya, Spain. In 1980 Seiwert-Fleige left the Palmarian movement.
Bishop Jean Charles Roux later re-consecrated him conditionally on April 8, 1995.
He eventually reconciled with Pope John Paul II and publicly concelebrated at a papal Mass at which he was seen in full priestly vestments (chasuble). He was regularized as a priest, and therefore his Holy Orders were not declared invalid, only his episcopal dignity seems to have been suppressed for canonical reasons, not for reasons of invalidity. He is one of the first of the Thuc-line clergy who is regularized and fully recognized by the Holy See. He continues to function as a priest at Rosenheim, near Munich, Bavaria, Federal Republic of Germany.
