There were protests during Christmas mass at Freiburg Cathedral over clerical plans to remove the popular head of the Choir School, Boris Böhmann, after 22 years’ service.
‘The Holy Masses were deliberately disrupted, and there was no room for disruption here, especially at Christmas,’ said Archbishop Stephan Burger. ‘The choir director at least approved of this. The Domfabrikfonds had to draw conclusions from this, as bitter as it is.’
Böhmann’s lawyer said: ‘Our client was not aware of the protests from the congregation.’
Some parents have written to Pope Francis.
