maurer.jpg

(38) 11. MAURER, C.SS.R., José Clemente
(1900-1990)

Birth. March 13, 1900, Püttlingen, diocese of Trier, Germany. Son of Peter Maurer (1855–1923), a miner, and his second wife Angela Clemens. The family was poor and his pious parents wished that the youngest member of the family should become a priest. The family had contact with the Redemptorist monastery in Téterchen in Lorraine; the father had taken part in retreats there. Josef Clemens' older brother Peter was accepted in Téterchen in 1910 and later went to Bertigny in Switzerland. Josef Clemens also traveled to Bertigny in 1912, the day after his first communion. He stayed there until he graduated from high school, then he went to the religious house in Landser near Mulhouse in Upper Alsace.

Education. Joined the Congregation of Most Holy Redeemer. He took his temporary vows on September 10, 1921 in Trois Epis in Alsace, and his final profession was on September 19, 1924. Received his formation at the Novitiate of Trois-Epis, Switzerland; and at the Theological Faculty of Echternach, Luxemburg, where he studied philosophy and theology.

Priesthood. Ordained, September 19, 1925. In 1926 he was sent to Bolivia as a missionary. His mission initially took him on foot and on horseback, later by jeep or plane across Bolivia. In 1933 he became superior of the monastery of San Juan de Dios in La Paz. In April 1938 he founded the monastery of San Martin in Potosí. From 1939 to 1944 he was the superior and pastor in Tupiza. On March 23, 1944, he was appointed provincial superior of his order in the vice province of Bolivia, which then included Chile, Perú, Ecuador, Colombia and Bolivia. After he had visited all of the 21 monasteries in the vast province, he flew to Rome in February 1950 to report.

At the suggestion of French Prime Minister Robert Schumanhe was decorated with the Légion d’honneur of the Republic of France in 1951 and with the Federal Cross of Merit by the Republic of Germany in 1955. The seminary there was destroyed by an earthquake in 1948; many houses and churches were in a desolate state. Social unrest, which culminated in the 1952 revolution, was added to this. Once again, Archbishop Maurer swapped the bishop's chair for the saddle and rode through the towns and villages of his diocese. The need in Bolivia prompted the Catholic pastors in Archbishop Maurer's home parish of Püttlingen in 1959 to initiate Bolivia aid in the diocese of Trier. It became the nucleus for the church aid organization Adveniat. As a symbol of this partnership, a replica of the Trier market cross was erected on the market square in Sucre. Attended the four sessions of the Second Vatican Council, 1962-1965. In Bolivia, his concern was primarily for the Indians. All the country's presidents since the early 1950s asked him to mediate in crisis situations. The cardinal kept his distance from the governments and thus retained the respect of the common people.

(1) Pope Benedict XVI announced on May 13, 2005, the opening of the cause of beatification of Pope John Paul II, waiving the normal waiting period of five years after the death of a Servant of God. The pope made the announcement in the course of a meeting with the Roman clergy in the basilica of St. John Lateran. The rescript - or document authorizing the act - was dated May 9, 2005 and was signed by Cardinal José Saraiva Martins and Archbishop Edward Nowak, respectively prefect and secretary of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints. The diocesan phase of the process was opened on June 28, 2005, less than three months after Pope John Paul II's death, at the patriarchal Lateran basilica by Cardinal Camillo Ruini, vicar general of Rome; it was closed in that same basilica on April 2, 2007. The diocesan process over, the acts and documents passed to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, where all the material was studied. On December 19, 2009, Pope Benedict XVI authorized the promulgation of the decree concerning his heroic virtues. On January 14, 2011, Pope Benedict XVI authorized the promulgation of a decree concerning a miracle attributed to his intercession. Pope John Paul II's remains were moved from the grotto located beneath St. Peter's basilica to a chapel in the main church. The transportation of the coffin took place without exhumation, hence the pope's body will not be exposed. The body was enclosed and the placement of his body was marked by a simple marble stone engraved with the words "Beatus Ioannes Paulus II." The pope's body was placed in the chapel of St. Sebastian, which is located between the chapel of the Pietà and the chapel of the Blessed Sacrament. The chapel housed the remains of Blessed Pope Innocent XI (1676-1689), and is named after the main figure in the mosaic above the altar, which was completed by Pier Paolo Cristofari. Statues of Pius XI and Pius XII flank the right and left sides of the a ltar, respectively. The remains of Bl. Pope Innocent XI were moved to another chapel.
