German Bishop Georg Bätzing declares Germany a "mission country" due to decreasing Catholic population.
Germany's Bishop Georg Bätzing of Limburg has declared Germany a "mission country" due to the decreasing number of Catholics, citing evangelization as a central theme since Popes John Paul II and Francis. The Catholic population has fallen, with predictions that the number of Christians paying church tax will halve by 2060. Bätzing aims to engage with the other half of the population who are not necessarily faithless or without questions.
