Christmas mass canceled
Angry protest against German archbishop
Scandal at German Christmas mass! A service had to be canceled on Christmas Eve in Freiburg Cathedral due to angry protests. The background to this was the dismissal of a popular cathedral choirmaster.
When the choirboys of chapel master Boris Böhmann finished one of their songs, the members applauded for several minutes (see post below). According to German media reports, there were also shouts against Archbishop Stephan Burger (62), who was leading the Christmas mass. Burger had to break off the service as there was no longer any peace. The live broadcast of the church channel k-tv also interrupted the program and displayed the following notice: "We ask for your understanding that the broadcast cannot be continued due to a wilful disruption of the service."
On the sidelines of the Christmas mass, members of the parish distributed flyers demanding the "immediate withdrawal" of the termination. According to reports, this will take effect at the end of 2025.

The reasons for the dismissal of Boris Böhmann (60) are being kept under wraps in the Archdiocese of Freiburg. In an interview with the "Badische Zeitung", a spokesperson merely referred to data protection, which prohibits disclosure.
