Hier geht's zum Interview auf Deutsch.

For ages every benedictine abbot was an ordained priest. Pope Francis changed this rule in 2022. Isaac Murphy is the sixth abbot of Saint Anselm Abbey in New Hampshire - and the first lay brother in his position. Will he wear a Mitre? This is only one of the questions the monks will have to face. The interview was conducted by Renardo Schlegelmilch.
