The Catholic church says it is about the tax, not that they are too busy to give communion, or hear confession.
I repeat, the Catholic church says that they are going to withhold “”anointing of the sick – unless the patient’s life is in danger””, I don’t know how a Priest can tell when someone might suddenly die from their illness, or why he would be trying to, just to deny it from non-paying Catholics.
Repeatedly denying the Catholic church’s officially announced policy, is not convincing, the defense that non of this is happening anyway, is to deny the church’s adopting of the policy, and their intent.
The Catholic church is doing what it can to deny confession to the non-tax payer Catholics, it is their policy, and their intent, they must have some method of enforcing this decision and newly adopted policy.
Christians have a moral obligation to support their pastors (1 Cor 9:14, 1 Tim 5:17-18). Likewise, pastors have an especial responsibility to minister to those who are believers (Galatians 6:10).
Someone who will not even check off a box indicating that he supports the Church is telling his pastor something about which household he belongs to.
It is a given in Germany that the ratio of Catholics to clergy, and the demand on the clergy's time and budgets, is already a strain. It does not need to be spelled out in the policy.

Again, the exception is in extremis - which covers pretty much every single case of anointing of the sick I've ever heard of.
People do not get anointed when they have a cold.

I am denying your mischaracterization. The policy is in place and it is a good policy. The policy you are decrying is a straw man.
The Catholic church is doing what it can to deny confession to the non-tax payer Catholics, it is their policy, and their intent, they must have some method of enforcing this decision and newly adopted policy.
Why "must" they have some method of enforcement? Does the Church have a method of enforcement against artificial birth control? Against pre-marital intercourse? The doctrine is against those things, the policy is against those things, but there is no practical method of enforcement other than the stirrings of conscience.
Which is exactly what this policy here is saying: if you want the Church to serve you and you are not willing to even do the bare minimum to contribute, it is time to examine your priorities.
