The name will get your attention: governing Council candidate, Natalie Rickli, national Council of Claudio Zanetti, Blocher-son-in-law Roberto Martullo. You are no Church taxes, all meals, a solidarity Fund, to the Bishop of Chur Huonder and pay in the Canton of Zurich. What worsens the latent irritated climate between Chur and Zurich. For political reasons, the Church is also a national councillor Mauro Tuena. All four SVP-politicians call themselves believers and the Catholic Church are closely connected. But you will interfere in political Manifestations of the state Church.
the discussion on The political influence of the churches has again gained relevance, since also the CVP-President Gerhard Pfister interferes with the public, that representative of the Church to interfere in the vote fight. Instead of slogans, they should reflect on their ethical core business, Pfister. The influence of the pulpit is a deep relapse “into the middle ages”.
So Pfister founded together with theologians, and politicians – including Zanetti – two weeks ago, the think-tank “Church policy” to take to the churches in the duty.
“Now
Currently, it is sufficient for me” is not a question of the Church most recently in the Zwingli anniversary year. In the new Film “Zwingli” is shown, such as the reformer, negotiated eye-to-eye with the city Council, or was his involvement against the military ascendancy of a driving force for the Reformation. Zwingli was highly political.
“must be The Church as opposed to a party for all the people there,” says Natalie Rickli, the available neue Zürcher SVP-member of the cantonal government. “Now,” she wrote two years ago, to Bishop Charles Morerod, the President of the Swiss bishops ‘ conference. “I stay Catholic, I continue to believe in God, but I’m resigning from the Roman Catholic Corporation.” An organization that excluding dissenters and break, does not correspond to your understanding of Christianity.
reason for leaving was a Blog by Charles Ada, the Director of the Catholic media centre of Zurich, in connection with Ricklis fight for the “No vote”Initiative. “Ce n’est pas très catholique”, wrote Ada, as “destructive force” against the public-service media, the weakness of the Church’s public Service. Since your outlet Rickli paid a “solidarity contribution”, as she says, directly in a Fund of the diocese of Chur. The Catholic Kirchgemeinde Winterthur and the Roman Catholic Corporation of the Canton of Zurich received from Rickli not a franc more, although she is still a member of the Catholic Church. to pay
No Church taxes, is legal, as the Federal court in 2012, has found. You must be able to escape for the sake of religious freedom from the state Church organization, if you want to belong to the Church, the secular organizations of Catholicism but rejects. The Catholic Church, as such, does for the membership. The Church just right of “tangible solidarity”, leaving the way this is practiced, but at the discretion of the believers.
the members that joined from the state Corporation, may continue to be baptized to be married in Church, go to confession, and buried.
members signed up on out of state Corporation, will still receive “full access to the life of the Church and to the sacraments,” as the Episcopal Ordinariate in Chur writes. They may baptize, still get married in Church, go to confession, and buried.
The direct contributions in the solidarity Fund of the diocese of Chur had to Rise “at the moment”, says diocese spokesman Giuseppe Gracia. The annual report of the vicar General Martin Grichting has around 105’000 Swiss francs. The money will be used for the information sheet for the diocese, for youth work, and disability counseling.
Gracia, the increase is explained as follows: “Many are disturbed by the against the diocesan Bishop’s policy of cantonal Church-state corporations and one-sided political opinions of representatives of the state Church and legal system.” The undermining of the maturity of the believers in political questions. Chur does not have understanding for these reactions, the Bishop Huonder promote the exits from the cantonal authorities, however.
a year Ago, a Bang from the Catholic parish of miles, out – and that is as the incumbent of the Church Keeper – Roberto Martullo, the husband of Ems Director and SVP national councillor, Magdalena Martullo-Blocher. Shutter for the outlet of a dispute to the reduction of the Church tax foot. But most of all he was from the cantonal Church, to provoke because their line is always against the Bishop of Chur close to the division of the diocese. Martullo referred to as “faithful Catholics”. The state Church without him, and “very much money”, solely by the Administration would be “wasted millions”.
instructions on how to exit
From the Catholic authority, also SVP national councillor and monastery students Claudio Zanetti. It is the statement of auxiliary Bishop Peter Henrici, a good Christian could not choose SVP disturbed 2004. “I don’t want to Finance the political Hetzereien of Church representatives.”
Zanetti paid an annual contribution directly to the Bishop of Chur Huonder, “was a great Bishop,” and in the sense of the Church in Rome to handle. On its Website, Zanetti gives a guide to the Church exit. SVP national councillor Mauro Tuena resigned in 1991 as a Young SVPler from the Church, as the peace village Flüeli-hidden Ranft seven Kurdish refugee families.
Catholic is also SVP national councillor and Vice-President Gregor Rutz. He was angry, as Franziska, the newly elected Zurich synodical President Driessen picked up, last may, the Henrici-quote, you could not choose, as a Christian, SVP. “Because of such statements, I will not resign from the Corporation,” says Rutz, “it is important that it is said there is also his opinion.”
