In a controversial and unexpected decision, the Marienmünster Church located in Diesen was denied the Basel title. This news was announced while the church was celebrating the 40th anniversary of Pastor Joseph Kirchensteiner, who reacted strongly to the matter.
Why was this decision made?
Church officials in Rome stated that the reason for the denial of this title was the "lack of liturgical life" in this church. This decision, particularly on a day that was very special for the church and its pastor, has faced significant criticism and sparked heated discussions among the followers and stakeholders of the church.
This issue is not only a major shock for Pastor Kirchensteiner, who has dedicated 40 years of his life to serving this church, but also for the entire religious community of Diesen. Is this a sign of weakening religious activities in this region?
