Switzerland ABOLISHES Exemption For Military Service for Priests

Switzerland is famous for its neutrality.

Despite being neutral and unlike Ireland, it maintains and funds a strong military and the mandatory military service is an important aspect of that.

Now, the government is seeking to remove the exemption which means that priests and friars do not have to serve in the military.

Already, 9 members of clergy have been called for service since the new law was introduced last month.
