spiritual mother of the community and from then on she was called
Mother Paula.

New Priests Are Ordained

As more and more people supported the Sword-Bishop in his mission
and wanted to receive the holy Sacraments only from him, he trained
willing men and ordained them priests. New Holy Mass centres
emerged in Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria
and Italy.

The teaching of the SAVIOUR is not so much a doctrine of reason as
rather a teaching of the heart. It is the teaching of love. Studies and any
other school qualifications are appreciated, but they are no re-
quirement for the priesthood. The training for the priesthood follows
the example of JESUS CHRIST, who called men from amongst the
people, even uneducated and married ones. 1 Cor 8:1: «Knowledge
puffs up, but love builds up.» The Sword-Bishop does not train priests of
reason, but priests of the heart.

Main Seat in Rehetobel

Since the house in Speicher was only a makeshift and was meanwhile
bursting at the seams due to the ever-growing number of internal
members, the Sword-Bishop and his wife were looking for a larger
house. With GOD’s help, they were able to purchase the property at
Bergstrasse 52 in Rehetobel and move into it on 1 August 1984. Within
35 years, all debts could be paid off in full, and that with donations
from people who were not rich. Often the Sword-Bishop and Mother
Paula, shortly before the due date of the next instalment, stood before
nothingness with unspeakable worry. But their unshakeable trust in
GOD was rewarded every time, the money was there at the right time.
Mother Paula, who had a strong lifelong devotion to St Joseph, was
responsible for the finances and her prayers were always answered in a
special manner by this great Saint. In 1985 she received a consecration
of the hand from the Sword-Bishop to impart the blessing of St Joseph.
