Throwback Thursday — Gregory Hesse

Gregorius Henricus Laurentius Diego Dagobertus Hervinus Hesse (aka Gregorius Hesse, Gregory Hesse) died on 25 January 2006 from a massive stroke brought about by his diabetes.  He was known for being a lush, gourmand, and loquacious.  Below are some photos of Gregory Hesse which show a completely different side of him that many have never seen before.

The photos were found online at http://www.gregorius-hesse.at/

 That’s Hesse being ordained on 21 November 1981 in St. Peter’s Basilica.

 A close-up of the laying on of the hands on Hesse in New Rite of Ordination.

Hesse must have had a time machine as this photo is dated 1864 and says he is a Colonel in the Union Army.

Col. Hesse again in 1864 was a member of the 1st Division 20th Corps Army of Cumberland and served in the General Staff.

That time machine must have gotten a lot of use. Here is Hesse in 1776.

 The ‘monsignor’ on the hunt in 1776.  Note Hesse was not a monsignor but he wrote that on the photo.

One of Hesse’s toy trains.  What kind of make-believe world was Hesse living in?

 Nothing says Christmas Day like bottles of alcohol and a photo of John Wayne.
