Europe's church creatively rethinks as numbers plummet
Oxford, England:
When the government of Luxembourg abolished religious teaching in state
schools in September, the move was deplored by the Grand Duchy's
Catholic archdiocese.
Catholics
traditionally make up two-thirds of Luxembourg's 530,000 inhabitants,
and their archbishop, Jean-Claude Hollerich, consented in 2015 to plans
by the center-left government of Xavier Bettel, Europe's only openly gay
prime minister, for full church-state separation to be phased in over
two decades.
