Views
Krenn argued against Turkey's entrance into the European Union, warning against the 'Islamisation' of Europe and calling Islam a "very aggressive kind of religion" that will not easily allow for the political unity with the Christian faith.[3] He was known for his anti-European Union views.[4][5]
Abuse scandal
Krenn resigned from his post in 2004 after the discovery of pornography, including child pornography, at the seminary.[6]
