Vanuytrecht’s predecessor, Thomas Fiegmueller, stayed for just one season. He told the Salzburger Nachrichten daily: “I met lots of nice people and had good conversations. But there was also criticism from apparently arch-conservative Catholics because I didn’t have a cowl or a beard … Maybe I was the wrong person.”

This doesn’t sound very traditional. In days of yore a would be hermit would go find a cave or go build himself a hut in an out back sort of place.

“Hermit!”
Now there’s a scriptural office for you.
You just can’t invent this stuff.

A Catholic deacon has won a competition to live in one of central Europe’s last hermitages Won a competition? Was it a reality show Europe's Lonliest Hermit? You're thrown out when the Abbot speaks to you? "Brother Maynard, You failed the scriptorium challenge. John 3:16 is not "All copying and no play makes Maynard a dull monk."

The hermit-in-residence is expected to receive visitors during the season, April to November, ready to chat, pray, and enjoy the view.I think this sounds like a really fun job. It seems that the "hermit" - who is more like a host at a historic site, maybe - is an employee of the town?
