A Roman Catholic priest in Germany is facing backlash over a sermon urging parishioners to forgive pedophile priests. The retired, 79-year-old priest was apparently attempting to preach about the importance of forgiveness in Christianity, using examples from the Bible to insist that pedophile priests deserve to be forgiven, too. |

Zurkuhlen complained about bishops referring to predator priests as “criminals,” even if the men were otherwise good at their jobs. He added that the congregation’s reaction was a “real shock.” |

The Rev. Stefan Rau, the congregation’s lead pastor, told Kirche-und-Leben that he regrets Zurkuhlen’s comments. The bishop of Münster, Felix Genn, has reportedly asked Zurkuhlen to stop preaching. Rau said he believes forgiveness isn’t the duty of abuse victims. |
