German bishop acts against PEGIDA priest Spätling

A priest of the Diocese of Münster, Paul Spätling, who took part in a PEGIDA demonstration in Duisburg, Germany, on Monday evening has been reproached by Bishop Genn of Münster.

He may no longer work as a priest in the Catholic Church.

At the Monday demonstration in Duisburg Spätling criticised Chancellor Merkel for her coments on Islam. He also objected to the Catholic authorities for turning off the lights of Cologne Cathedral on the evening that PEGIDA held a meeting in Cologne.

Fr Spätling has been celebrating Mass in Latin.

PEGIDA is objecting to the Islamisation of Europe.
