Germany
The text discusses Catholic support for Germany's AfD party, claiming over 25% backing it, and mentions opposition from Catholic bishops, with dioceses barring AfD members from roles.
The claims regarding Catholic support for the AfD in Germany are largely refuted by the evidence, which indicates strong opposition from the Catholic Church. German bishops and Catholic leaders have voiced their incompatibility with AfD's positions, emphasizing that supporting or voting for the AfD contradicts Christian values. AfD's support tends to be weaker in Catholic regions. Claims about Catholic bishops declaring AfD unacceptable and restricting church roles for AfD members are supported by sources, reflecting these declarations against the party.
