Peternimmo, 1 month ago A politician in #Germany's #FarRight #AfD had been dismissed from a #church post. The deputy parliamentary group leader in the #Saarland parliament, #Schaufert, was sacked from the administration board of his local #Catholic church after the diocese of #Trier ruled that he could not serve in a church office. "As the face of a party that represents attitudes that contradict the #Christian view of humanity, he damages the credibility of the church" H/t @marion_grau https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/bundesweit-erster-afd-spitzenpolitiker-verliert-kirchenamt-102.html
