Who was Roman Sebastian Zängerle?
Roman Sebastian Zängerle was Prince-Bishop of Seckau.
After studying with the Benedictines at Wiblingen Abbey, he became a novice there in 1788, took his vows on February 5, 1792, and was ordained priest on December 21, 1793.
From 1794–95 he studied Oriental languages at the monastery of Zwiefalten, and then taught scripture at Wiblingen 1796–99, at Mehrerau 1799-1801, again at Wiblingen 1801–03, at the Benedictine University of Salzburg 1803–07, at the University of Cracow 1807–09, at the University of Prague 1811–13, and at the University of Vienna 1813–24.
In 1824, fifteen years after the suppression of his monastery, when there was no further hope of its restoration, he obtained dispensation from his religious vows in order to accept a canonry at Vienna. On April 24, 1824, he became Prince-Bishop of Seckau and administrator of the diocese of Leoben. These two dioceses, with a population of 800,000, had been without a bishop for twelve years, during which time the government had free scope to infuse Josephinistic ideas into the clergy and the laity.
