Archbishop of Bamberg Ludwick Schick has called on Christians in Germany to distance themselves from PEGIDA, (Patriotische Europäer Gegen die Islamisierung des Abendlandes - Patriotic Europeans against the Islamisation of the Occident) the anti-Islam movement in Germany.
He said that the organisation is racist and nationalistic and caters for different forms of anxiety.
In recent weeks PEGIDA has gained much attention, especially as a result of demonstrations in the estern German city of Dresden.
It has been supported by the newly formed AfD party and the neo-Nazis.
At the CSU party conference in Nürnberg on December 12 it was mentioned that German citizens from countries in the Muslim world should speak German in their German homes.
No mention that German citizens from the US or anywhere in the English speaking world should similarly speak German when in their German homes.
