Dancing, making jokes or satire publicly, is illegal next week Friday in Germany.
This is not a joke. Whenever I talk about this publicly people think it's a joke. This concept is so foreign to some people.
My favorite TV shows can't air because it's illegal to make jokes that day.
What kinda Footlose sh*t is this??

in reply to Erik Uden π • • •See it like that: the "carfreitag" events are also illegal because of it (a car tuning and illegal street racing event). π
Managed once to step off the train and right into the police busting the Limburg event for the first time in history, after it was tolerated for a few years.

in reply to Erik Uden π • • •Wow. First of all, how the hell do people remember that it is Good Friday? Especially when Easter changes dates every year?
I would end up arrested because I'm clueless even when it comes to secular holidays. So I'm never going to remember any religious ones!
I might happen to read about it in the news but then an hour later it would be completely forgotten.

in reply to Hypolite Petovan • • •I guess there's a public holiday, somber and religious in nature called, Good Friday.
I read there's also another public holiday in Germany that has similar restrictions; I think it's in October or November, something about mourning the dead.
How much modern Germany is a religious country I have no idea. But one thing for sure, the very strict separation between church and state that exists in France, is not happening there.

In practice it took longer than that to formally declare the separation of Church and State (1905 in France) but there might have been a "where's your God now?" moment during the French Revolution.

Unknown parent • • •@konrad Grown up in a catholic family in the catholic diaspora in northern Germany, been rather active for quite some time until after Confirmation. Next to no Sunday without attending mass.
So, no actual formal education, but ask any catholic priest...
Wilfried Klaebe
Unknown parent • • •@konrad Catholicism is much more centralized. With protestants, every priest essentially is their own pope, catholics have one pope who is the final and highest authority on theology.
You will not find a catholic priest who doubts that easter, is the most important solemnity. See also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solemnitβ¦: "The solemnities of Nativity of the Lord, the Epiphany, the Ascension, and Pentecost are outranked only by the Paschal Triduum."
