Christmas is for Church Members, Say German Politicians
German politicians have said midnight mass on Christmas Eve should be reserved for people who have paid their church tax.
Thomas Volk, a senior member of Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats in the southern state of Baden-Württemberg, said many regular churchgoers were angry that they can't get a seat because of the onslaught on churches at Christmas.
He told Bild newspaper: "I'm in favor of having church services on December 24 open only for people who pay church tax."
