Graz diocese attempted to whitewash Father Michael Kopp who performed a pseudo-marriage for two lesbians.
The shock pictures of the scandal were published by Shock Pictures: Homosex Pseudo Marriage Staged In Austrian Church and went viral on social media.

Graz diocese is run by pro-homosex Bishop Krautwaschl. His speaker, Thomas Stanzer, told Kath.net (November 12) that Kopp presided a “liturgy of thanksgiving” for two “civilly married” women.
