Parish catechetical work at half-time is teacher work under the Teacher's Charter and Church-State Act.

The Supreme Court quashed lower court rulings denying pension rights to a parish priest for his catechetical duties. The applicant argued that his half-time work in parishes and as a choir director constituted teacher employment, while lower courts rejected this based on a prior precedent and the private nature of some activities. The court held that current legislation and ministerial regulations explicitly define half-time parish catechesis as teacher work, overturning the old precedent but remanding the case to re-evaluate specific evidence regarding the applicant's employment in the choir and parishes.
