The Catholic Church
in Germany

France does have a rigid separation of State and Religion. In Germany they say, we also have a separation - but do we really? I don´t think so. Every tax paying citizen in Germany - no matter if Christian or not, if a member of the Church or not - has to pay for catholic and evangelic church maintenance/restaurations, catholic and evangelic religious education, education of catholic and evangelic priests, salaries and pensions of the kardinals, bishops et cetera, et cetera... That´s no separation of Church and State at all! In other countries they would call this Theocracy. Ok, maybe a bit exaggerated, but it comes close enough, though.

Significant for the highly political influence of the Catholic Church is also, that from all the world religions on this planet earth - only the Vatican has a so-called "Holy See" at the United Nation. This entitles the permanent representative of the Catholic Church to make interventions at the United Nations without the right to vote. It was established as a Permanent Observer Mission in 1964. And for what does the Vatican use this granted right? For it´s utterly inhuman, patriarchic-dictatorial and supersticious repression of mankind and especially women. If they could, they would go back into the Dark Ages.

In my opinion, mankind won´t experience real progress in humanity, before not using simply sanity and brain instead of following blindly a book which was written and "interpreted" by hate-spitting, patriarchic misogynists. All the evil on this earth was and still is mostly caused by some silly religious ideologies and made worse by even more dumber and fanatic people later, no matter if it´s called Christianity, Islam or any other religion, which claims to have the one and only truth - and only oppresses people by doing so. If on purpose or not. They do.

Poor, rich Catholic Church in Germany and it´s double moral standards:
