The Gunther Jauch programme this evening returned to discuss the role of the Catholic Church in Germany. It followed on last week's programme.
Oskar Lafontaine, who was for a short time Gerhard Schröder's finance minister, Bishop Hans-Jochen Jaschke from Hamburg and Nikloaus Schneider, a high ranking German Protestant Minister were among the guests. Also on the panel was TV personality Kerner, who is a Catholic.
It was an explosive programme, which showed in amazinlgy clear terms how within the church there are so many different opinions.
The Hamburg bishop came across as a wise and sympathetic man.
Lafontaine admitted to having a portrait of Pope Benedict in his office.
It was reported on the show that Cardinal Meissner of Cologne said during the week that there is currently a 'pogrom-style' attack on the Catholic Church in Germany.
The Hamburg bishop felt that Cardinal Meissner's words were an unfortunate use of language.
An impotant moment in the German church.
