Country: Germany

Date of incident: November 22, 2023


On November 22, a legal procedure was started against a man from Rosenheim who had sexual intercourse with his wife near the altar of a church in Schechen and filmed the act. "In order to respect the religious feelings of the faithful, such a desecration must be remedied by a penitential ceremony in accordance with the liturgical rules," explained a spokesperson for the responsible archdiocese of Munich and Freising.

Because of the desecration the alter had to be reconsecrated. The man did not reveal any of his motives during the proceedings. He is also being prosecuted for other crimes.
