Minister Schroeder had generated controversy in addressing this issue when talking about education.
The German government on Friday became interested in the sex of God, after a controversial minister unleashed a spectacular considering that the gender-neutral may be used to designate.
During the traditional press conference spokesmen for each ministry, an extremely serious ritual held three times a week, grammatical-theological debate found a place among Cypriot debt and the relationship between Russia and Europe.
Quoting the Bible, works of Pope Benedict XVI and the Vatican's official website, spokesman Family Minister Kristina Schroeder, concluded: "Clearly, God is neither male nor female. Le I have more confidence to a specialist [ Pope] that those who criticize the minister ".
In an interview published Thursday by the weekly Die Zeit, the Minister Schroeder, 35, had generated controversy in addressing this issue when talking about education. "Is it difficult to speak of God in masculine her little daughter?" Asked the reporter.
The German language has three genders: masculine, feminine and neuter, and God is designated by the male.
"It is simple, each must decide for himself. Article has no significance," the minister said, estimating that the neutral would be equally correct. This response unleashed a storm of criticism from all sides, including from Schroeder allies in the Party of the Christian Democratic Union, the same Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Legislator Christine Haderthause said he was surprised by "this nonsense. I think it's sad our children take strong images that are so important in the name of political correctness."
Another conservative lawmaker, Norbert Geis, said: "For us Christians, God is clearly the father., And should continue that way."
