Rekord-Flucht in 2022: Mehr Kirchenaustritte in Weiden als je zuvor

Leere Kirchenbänke, Hunderte Austritte im vergangenen Jahr. Die Weidener Pfarreien, katholisch wie evangelisch, verlieren gewaltig an Mitgliedern. Über einen jungen Mann, der keine Lust mehr hatte, und Pfarrer, die nach Mutmachern suchen.

von Florian Bindl

Viel Schatten und wenig Licht: Die Kirchenaustrittszahlen in den Weidener Pfarreien sind 2022 gewaltig angestiegen. Und die Gottesdienste werden leerer.
