Kernrechtsfrage
Whether a declaration of exit from the Catholic state-church organization is valid without renouncing the Catholic confession.
Extrahierter Entscheid
A valid exit from the cantonal state-church organization is sufficient; renunciation of the Catholic confession cannot be required.
Extrahierte Begründung
Freedom of religion protects the right to leave the state-church organization at any time for any reason. State law concerns only the worldly legal form of membership, not inner-church affiliation.
