I wonder how strictly they check up on your mass attendance. I'm not sure the ethics of lying to pass an unethical religious-based test for housing, but it strikes me that there must be at least one resident that is not as dedicated to the church as most.

> Social worker Doris Herzog is the first point of contact for most applicants. She checks church registers to ensure they're Catholic and interviews them on their living situation.

It could be as simple as checking tax records: in Germany, tithing is incorporated directly into tax declarations and payroll systems.

Still not very social if its "catholics only". That they're checking on your church attendance makes it all feel very bigbrothery to me.

Non the less cool they manage to keep prices down: much lower than actual social housing operated by govt.
