On "hirtenbarometer.de," clergy of all Christian denominations can be rated. On a scale of 1 to 6, they're judged according to five criteria: church services, credibility, timeliness, and work with youth and the elderly. Only registered users can participate, although they can use a pseudonym. Pope Benedict XVI and Pope John Paul II are among those most often assessed. More than 15,000 users have registered on the site. Its creator, Fabian Ringwald, wanted to encourage robust discussion about the quality of the church. But the site has also been criticized for trivializing the exchange between priests and their flocks, and for a profile one user created for God.
