Quiet in Würtemberg Catholic Church Compared to Germany
A historical note argues Würtemberg enjoys unusual religious quiet due to mixed Church State controls, government influence on seminaries, and Catholic minority status. It cites state oversight of clergy, education subsidies, and limited priesthood supply versus Protestant needs, with signs of Vatican concern amid nun activities and local governance.
Church and State on the Continent Debate in Prussia
Berlin publishes the petition by Prussian bishops to Emperor William arguing that unconditional obedience to State laws clashes with Christian duty. The reply from the Ministry rejects the view, noting the measure required the Emperor’s consent and that bishops cannot override state law. The notice cites suspensions of constitutional articles and the state regulation of church bodies. Internment of ex-Bishop Martin at Wesel continues until he recognises state ecclesiastical authority. A Fulda Conference outcome is awaited with bishops expected to issue episcopal communiqués. Bavarian opposition influenced broader measures on religious orders.
