Catholic Church Conservation: fooled for the first time ever

Chaiman of German Catholic Bishops; Conference shows his true colours

Dear Chris,

no, this is not true!

In Germany we have the tradition of the "All Fools´ Day", and our press-release with the information of the archbishops resignation was just an April-fool. We sent it out yesterday with period of interdiction april the first - and there are several jokes in it too! - but the Vatican Radio disregarded the rules and published the thing immediately.

I heard that a lot of people laughed a lot about that - even in the archbishops administration.

Best wishes to you from Frankfurt!

Bernd Hans Göhrig
