Austrian priest Nicolaas Janssens publishes names of former Catholics





Here's a new form of evangelization:

Publish the names of all the Catholics who have formally left the church.

A pastor in an Austrian church did exactly that. What was he thinking?


The Vienna archdiocese immediately apologized. According to ABC News, "a statement says those affected have been asked 'for forgiveness,' noting making the names public 'is not allowed by state or church rules.'

Those who formally renounce their membership in the Austrian Catholic church are freed from paying the mandatory church tax."

As you can see I changed your reaction by deleting the given email. As result the time of your reaction did change as well.

Reason: without permission given I don't want to spread someone's emailadres this way, esp. not after he(or she) was in the publicity this way. Too much idiots around at the Net can be rather lousy for one's mailbox, experience learnend.

Thanks anyhow. I did make a note.
