A German court has ruled that a man who renounced his faith cannot claim a right to retain his job with a Catholic charity.
The plaintiff had been dismissed by Caritas Germany after he changed his legal registration as a Catholic, in a public protest against Church policies.
He said that his dismissal was a violation of his freedom of expression, but the court ruled that the Catholic Church has the right to set its own standards for employment.
