-'''May Laws''' were a series of laws enacted and imposed in [[Germany]] in 1873 to place the [[Catholic Church]] entirely under state control and remove it from its authority in [[Rome]].  Under the leadership of the [[Prussian]] [[Landtag]] the goal was for [[German]] civil authorities to gain authority over the clergy to discipline them, and to make church appointments depend on state examinations.  Any [[clergy]] who objected was to forfeit his position and income.

-These laws remained in effect until 1887, when there were mostly relaxed, and then in 1905 these laws were repealed.
