- Denzil Meuli (Pierre Denzil) (born 1926) is a controversial Roman Catholic priest of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Auckland.
Biography
Meuli spent his childhood in Auckland and was educated, as a foundation pupil, at St Peter's College, Auckland.<ref<>St Peter's College Magazine 1964, p. 19.</ref> He studied for the Catholic priesthood at Holy Cross College, Mosgiel and later went to [[Rome to complete his studies and where he was awarded a S.T.D., U.J.D., and Ph.L.. He was ordained as a Priest of the Diocese of Auckland in Rome in December 1956 after completing his doctorate. In 1969 Meuli was appointed editor of the Zealandia, the weekly, Auckland Catholic newspaper by Archbishop Liston, the newspaper's founder in controversial circumstances following the sacking of two previous editors (Father Ernest Simmons and Father Patrick Murray). Nicholas Reid calls Meuli a "very conservative" appointee.[1] In 1977, Meuli obtained an Ll.B. from the University of Auckland and was admitted as a Barrister and Solicitor of the High Court of New Zealand.[2] Since the 1980s Meuli has had the care of the Mount St Mary "non-geographic" parish in Titirangi where the "traditional Latin liturgy" is followed.[3]
