Richard Baumann

Richard Baumann ( * August 5, 1899 in Stuttgart, † January 2, 1997 in Tübingen ) was a German theologian and author.

After studying Protestant theology in Tübingen and Marburg Baumann was in Württemberg since 1922 pastor of the Evangelical Church. Due to his Bible study and under the influence of the church struggle during the Third Reich as well as intensive contacts with Catholic Christians va during the Second World War, he came in 1941 to the conclusion that according to Matthew 16:18 f and John 21:15-17 Jesus is understood to Simon Peter, transmitted order as a continuing till the end of time office, which was realized in the Roman pope. Since a mystical experience on August 19, 1942 in Binzwangen he saw himself commissioned to unite the Protestant Church with the Roman Catholic Church.

This the first time in 1946 publicly expressed view brought him into conflict with his Protestant church, it found to be incompatible with their basic beliefs and Baumann 1947 offset in the waiting. Since this would not voluntarily give up his office, it came in 1953 for the first doctrinal discipline process in the history of the EKD. This process because of a doctrinal discipline specifically adopted the Rules, with the removal Baumann from the parish office. The procedure and the judgment of the College motto in this method was also used by evangelical authors (including Hans Asmussen and Max Lackmann ) partly heavily criticized.

A key point of criticism of the teaching process against Richard Baumann is that the church saying the college had chaired by the country's bishops refused to issue a binding doctrine on the question of the duration of the Petrine Office ( as Baumann had demanded it, for this case, he had a recant his theses offered ), but at the same time, de facto, the prevailing view by the judgment against Baumann set legally binding.

At the Second Vatican Council Baumann participated as an unofficial observer. After he had long tried in vain to get a hearing for his cause of reunification with Rome within the Protestant Church, he converted to the Catholic Church in 1982.
