Ecumenical rainbow service held at St. Severus Church in Erfurt

St. Severus Church in Erfurt, Germany, held an ecumenical rainbow service ahead of a local pride parade. According to a report by Luigi Casalini for Messainlatino.it, rainbow flags were displayed throughout the church and participants wore drag queen style clothing. A unicorn figure was placed in front of the altar on rainbow fabrics.

The service took place near a pride parade that included drag queen performances. Casalini criticized the event, stating that using the church as a stage for a pride parade instrumentalizes God and his house. He also noted that such events occur with the compliance of religious authorities while those requesting traditional masses are marginalized.
