He said: “Rapid can absolutely be a religion. There are similar rituals of hymns, songs and advents.“Religion has to offer solutions. There is a search for something greater, and it is not blasphemy for me to say so.”One of the players helped by the clergyman is midfielder Dejan Ljubicic, who was caught drunkenly hurling beer bottles at a mosque last December. The 21-year-old said: “Father Christoph gave me the strength to rise up again. I was on the floor after making a huge mistake.“He gave me the power to prove myself, and show that I am a good person.”
