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These laws remained in effect until 1887, when there were mostly relaxed, and then in 1905 these laws were repealed.
