Career
A lecturer and writer of books and articles about Gnosticism and Jungian psychology, Hoeller was also Regionary Bishop of Ecclesia Gnostica.[3]
Hoeller was ordained to the priesthood in the American Catholic Church by Bishop Lowell P. Wadle in 1958,[4] and consecrated bishop by Richard Duc de Palatine on April 9, 1967.[5] After the death of Palatine, Hoeller changed Palatine's church's name — the Pre-Nicene Gnostic Catholic Church — to Ecclesia Gnostica,[6] and has since held the title of Regionary Bishop.
Hoeller lectured in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Hungary, Germany, and the United States.[7] He was a member of the lecturing faculty of the late Manly P. Hall's Philosophical Research Society, and a speaker for the Theosophical Society in America.[8] His articles were published in Gnosis and Quest Magazine.
