Healthcare Worker Suspended for Trashing the Pope on Line

Edit: why don't they start suspending priests for twelve weeks without pay?

Germany. The church may terminate employees without notice if they offend the Pope. That is what the State Court of Baden-Württemberg decided yesterday, according to German press reports. In this specific case, there was a nurse who worked at a hospital of Caritas in Lake Constance. He spread defamatory articles against the Pope on the Internet under a pseudonym. When the author became known, 'Caritas' suspended the nurse without notice. Then he got twelve weeks without unemployment benefits. However, despite going against the ruling and has now lost. The plaintiff must also behave off duty so that "no contradiction to the principles of operation of employment" arises - the judges found.
