The Freiburg Declaration (Freiburger Erklärung in German) is a June 2012 letter signed by rebel priests from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Freiburg calling for change to Catholic law forbidding communion to remarried divorcees.[1][2][3] The archbishop for Freiburg, Robert Zollitsch, expressed disapproval of practices contrary to church law[4] and requested that priests refrain from signing the declaration, and to retract any signatures already made.[5]
