Čini se da Nijemci u sve većem broju izlaze iz Katoličke crkve. Po službenim podacima Njemačke biskupske konferencije, u 2013. godini 178.805 katolika formalno je napustilo Crkvu, dok je u 2014. taj broj narastao za 22 posto te je iznosio 217.716.

Crkvi prošle godine pristupile oko dvije tisuće Nijemaca

Kao glavni razlog napuštanja Crkve navodi se porez koji svi katolici moraju plaćati njemačkoj Katoličkoj crkvi. S druge strane, pristupilo joj je samo 2.809 Nijemaca.

“Radi se o osobnim odluka zbog kojih žalimo, ali poštujemo slobodu izbora”, kazao je predsjednik Biskupske konferencije kardinal Reinhard Marx, javlja CatholicCulture.org.
