Church In Germany Afflicted By Dearth Of Praish Priests And Leakage; Still It Grows By Manfred Wenzel (N.C.W.C. NEWS SERVICE) BONN, Germany—Two major problems of the Church in Ger many are leakage through mix ed marriage and shortage of diocesan priests. The two are related. With few priests to instruct Catholics in the Faith and to confirm them in the practice of it, Catholics may easily drift into, marriages that involve danger to their re ligion. And they succumb the more easily to that danger. The situation is worst in communist-ruled East Germany. Yet in Germany as a whole the proportion of Catholics within the population is growing. Out of every 100 German marriages involving a Catholic, 61 have two Catholic partners. Most of the marriaees in which both partners are Catholic take place in a Catholic church. The other 39 are mixed mar riages, and of these 18 take place outside the Church. Fewer than half of the children born of mixed marriaces in Germany are baptized. Still the number of baptisms is bieh enough to ensure the Church’s growth in Germany. Current statistics are lacking for the Church’s loss and gain through leakage, conversion and re-entry. But statistics for the immediate postwar decade show the current running against the Church. In 1946, a report showed 9.204 persons leaving the Church, while 19,729 entered it and 20,788 returned to it. This meant a net gain of more than 31.000 adults. In 1947 the Church registered about 21,000 more conversions and returns than lapses. The following year it registered a net gain of more than 14,000 adults, and in 1949 a net gain of about 1.500. By 1950, however, the flow had reversed itself. That year almost 3,000 more adults left the Church than entered or re entered it. And by 1954; the last year for which a nationwide figure is available, the Church registered 14,809 new entries and 7,288 returns, but 29,185 lapses. That represented a net loss of more than 7,000. Losses are greatest today in the Sees of Paderborn, Fulda, Savannah Services For Robert Seay SAVANNAH—Funeral serv ices for Robert Hayne Seay were held May 23rd at the Ca thedral of St. John the Baptist.

Balancing infant baptism against burials, the Church in Germany is ahead by 170,000 yearly. At present there are more than 420,000 infant bap tisms and less than 250,000 bur ials a year. That means a gain of about two-thirds of one per cent yearly for Germany’s Cath olic population of almost 27 million. The proportion of Catholics within the population of Ger many has varied since World War I, partly because of the contraction, expansion and again contraction of Germany’s boundaries and the flow of peo ple into and out of the country. The present Catholic popula tion constitutes about 35 per cent of the population of Ger many, both East and West. In 1915 Catholics accounted for more than 39 per cent of the total German population and in 1925 for 33 per cent. This re mained constant until World War II. The slow rise since then is probably due to a Cath olic birth rate higher than that of the rest of the population. The number of diocesan priests has decreased both ab solutely and relatively. While the Catholic population has risen by about 11 per cent since 1915 the number of diocesan priests has fallen by nearly 5 per cent. In 1915 there were 22,- 300 diocesan priests for 24,100,- 000 Catholics. Today there are 21,200 diocesan priests for 27 million faithful. But only 16,000 of Germany’s diocesan priests are active in parish work. The rest are re tired, incapacitated or engaged in teaching or administration. Religious orders supply another thousand priests for parish work, bringing the total num ber of parish priests in Germany to 17,000. Germany has one parish priest for approximately 1,580 faithful. This is far better than the Latin American average of about 5,000 faithful per parish priest, but gives the German parish priest about double the workload of parish priests in many other Western countries. But vocations to the regular priesthood, have almost tripled since 1915, virtually counter balancing the dearth of diocesan priests. There are now more than 5,900 German priests who belong to religious orders. The situation of the Brothers is less favorable. There were 8,- 000 in 1937 but there are only 4,600 now. About one-third of the com munities of nuns in Germany report an alarming decrease in vocations. Active communities such as those engaged in teach ing or nursing are in dire need of vocations. Contemplative con gregations report satisfactory progress. A twice-yearly census of churchgoers indicates that about two-thirds of those Catholics not excused from attending Mass go to church every Sun day. About half fulfil their Easter duty. During the nazi regime, when the Nazis were oppressing the Church and restricting its activi ties, Catholic religious life ap peared to reach an alltime high in Germany. At that time al most two-thirds of Catholics ful filled their Easter duty. TWO LOCATIONS Decatur McKINNEY BLDG AND Atlanta By MED. ARTS BLDG Opticians Kalish & Ainsworth 542 CHURCH ST 380 P’TREE ST..
