Schönborn Remains Tight-Lipped About Succession

"I can't tell you who it is," Schönborn said with a smile about his successor, "I don't know myself. And if I knew, I wouldn't say." On January 22, 2025, Schönborn will reach his 80th birthday. The Archbishop of Vienna announced in October that the Pope had informed him through the nuncio that his term of office would last until this point.

Schönborn Praises Quality Media at Last Advent Vespers

In his speech, Schönborn reminded that he would continue to serve as the media bishop until his dismissal. The Archbishop of Vienna praised quality media and the ORF and generally a journalism that is not solely dependent on commercial conditions. He wanted to thank for "the fact that we have media freedom in our country". There are austerity measures, the media are under pressure. However, the relationship between religion and media is good, as there is a basic goodwill towards each other.
