A Diocese in Germany has dismissed a diocesan judge for remarks criticising and warning about homosexuality, especially in relation to the Church.
The Diocese of Münster has dismissed Father Peter Mettler from his role as diocesan judge after the priest wrote an article sharply critical of homosexuality and the approach the Catholic Church in Germany has taken to issues of sexuality.
His removal followed a press inquiry into his writings on a conservative Catholic website, specifically an article published on 23 September on the Communio Veritatis platform, a site run by clerics sceptical of the German Synodal Way.
