The Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the
Faith, Cardinal Luis Ladaria Ferrer, accepted the resignation of Father Hermann
Geissler on Monday, 28 January.
In a press release on Tuesday, the CDF said Fr. Geissler
“decided to take this step to limit the damage already done to the Congregation
and to his Community.”
Fr. Geissler is a member of the Opus spiritualis
Familia religious community.
Doris Wagner, a former member of the same community, has
accused Fr. Geissler of improper conduct that allegedly took place in 2009.
Fr. Geissler, the communique reads, “affirms that the
accusation made against him is untrue, and asks that the canonical process
already initiated continue. He also reserves the right for possible civil legal
action.”
