Hysterical example of the stereotype of German efficiency at work!

Germany wants catechism skills in pilgrims

Apparently, they don't want to get bombarded by Catholic pilgrims. Especially the phoney kinds from the Baltics, who might decide to stay even after the Pope is gone.

Can you just imagine some German customs agent asking a would-be pilgrim?

"Recite the Apostle's Creed.

When does Transubstantiation occur?

Define the doctrine that gurantees Christ is true God and true man.

Ok, you can cross."

Will they use the Cathechism at least?
