Hartmut Zapp, el canonista que luchó contra el sistema recaudatorio extorsivo de los obispos alemanes

In brief

Hartmut Zapp, a canon lawyer, filed paperwork to leave the Catholic Church in the town of Staufen on July 5, 2007.

When completing the civil registry exit form, Zapp identified his religion as the Roman Catholic Church, a public law corporation. According to InfoVaticana, Zapp was not an anticlerical figure but rather a man who challenged the collection systems used by German bishops.
