Switzerland: Gaystapo K.O., Priest Acquitted

Petra Vanoni, a judge at the criminal court in Bellinzona, Switzerland, has acquitted German-born Manfred Hauke, a priest and internationally renowned theologian, of trumped-up charges of "discrimination" and "incitement to hatred".

The priest was being persecuted by homosexual activists from an organisation called "Pink Cross".

The trial centred on a scientific essay on homosexual sins and pedophile priests by Professor Dariusz Oko, a Polish priest and professor. His text was published in January 2021 in the theological journal "Theologisches", of which Hauke is the editor. Judge Petra Vanoni couldn't find in the scientific article any "ideology that discriminates against homosexuals".

Hauke will be reimbursed CHF 20,000 for court costs.
