Eklat at Christmas Mette: Freiburg Münster becomes the arena of the protest!

Another scandal shook the Freiburg Münster on Christmas Day, as a visitor after a song by the cathedral singing boy during the Christmas mass on Christmas Eve broke out into a long -lasting and demonstrative applause. According to reports, they had solidarized in solidarity with the dismissed cathedral band master Boris Böhmann, who was recently terminated by the Archdiocese of Freiburg. Archbishop Stephan Burger was forced to interrupt the liturgy several times as he tried to continue the service, which put him in an embarrassing situation under the laughter of some visitor, like Oe24 reported.

Böhmann's termination, which caused considerable resentment in the community, was not due to serious incidents such as sexual abuse, but rather to an internal power struggle between him and his deputy. A long -standing conflict between the two, in which the deputy is accused of delaying Böhmann's decisions on protection against abuse. Ex-Church employee Ulrich Rausch described the termination as "scandal" and questioned the allegations, reports katholisch.de .

protests in the service

supported leaflets already distributed before the service, who called for a petition for Böhmann. During the fair, the protests were criticized by the archdiocese as inappropriate because they went into a conflict with which they had nothing to do. The Archdiocese explained that the conflicts in the cathedral singing school have been in existence for a long time and, despite several attempts to settle, remained unsolved. The termination could not be revised under the influence of the public debate, since there have already been labor law proceedings that have always been decided against Böhmann's interests.
