Long Struggle Ends as Wirth Estate Goes to Benedictine Order
After eight years of litigation the U S Supreme Court reversed the Circuit Court in The Order of St Benedict v Albert Steinhauser Administrator, ruling that the Benedictine order, not the heirs, is entitled to Father Wirth’s estate. The case centers on royalties from Wirth books and the order’s claim to his property, with Justice Hughes noting civil rights over ecclesiastical matters.
