German priest criticised for headscarf protest

A German pastor priest has ignited controversy by donning a headscarf during his Pentecost Sunday sermon. Fr Wolfgang Sedlmeier, pastor of the Parish of St Maria in Aalen, shocked his congregation by tying a scarf around his head during a Pentecost sermon and wearing it on the altar during the duration of the Mass.

Fr Sedlmeier said he wished to protest discrimination against Muslims and Jews, according to SWR radio.
