The letter clarifies the county that it is religion law that applies and not the Catholic Church’s own rules .
Roman Catholic Diocese of Oslo, Bishop Bernt Eidsvig and an economy employee of the church is charged with aggravated fraud of 50 million after they since 2010 has listed unsuspecting persons as members of the church.
