Because of abuse report: church in Aschaffenburg suspends services

After the shocking report on sexual violence against children and young people in the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising, the Aschaffenburg pastor Markus Krauth resorted to drastic measures: on the next three Sundays, the services in his parish “Birth of Mary” will be cancelled.”What we as a parish of this church shocked is not only the unspeakable suffering that so many people had to experience at the hands of priests, bishops and vicars-general,” says an open letter from the parish council to Bishop Franz Jung of Würzburg.
