[edit] How Many Austrian Bishops?

The articles states that "[Innitzer] and the other Austrian bishops" signed a statement. This immplies that there were at least two other Austrian bishops. According to the article on the Archdiocese of Salzburg, however, there are only two dioceses in Austria, one in Vienna and the other in Salzburg. If that is true, the sentence needs to be rewritten. It might be better just to say who all signed the statement. 130.13.1.230 (talk) 22:01, 27 January 2008 (UTC)John Paul Parks130.13.1.230 (talk) 22:01, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

That's a interesting point! I know don't with in reference to which document is being refered to wikipedia article either. I do know one reference book says, with in brackets mine: "In fact, less than a week later, (context: March 12, 1938) all six Austrian bishops (don't know names) including Cardinal Theodore Innitzer signed a glowing “solemn declaration” in which they said that in the coming elections “it is a must and national duty as Germans, for us Bishops to vote for the German Reich.” —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.38.211.144 (talk) 21:51, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
