Episode 12: With Thomas Spinrath on the aims of the campaign #OutInChurch and his personal navigation of the tension between Catholic socialisation and queerness

"Now we speak for ourselves." These words start the #OutInChurch manifesto, with which over one hundred full-time, voluntary and former employees of the Roman Catholic Church in Germany have publicly come out as queer today (24 January 2022). The activists demand an end to the manifold discrimination against queer Catholics in all fields of activity and occupation of the church, as well as the acceptance of responsibility for the institutional history of queer hostility by the Catholic bishops. One of the campaign-initiators is DialoguePerspectives participant Thomas Spinrath. He joined our programme in 2019 and discusses the aims of the campaign, as well as his personal navigation of the tension between Catholic socialisation and queerness, in this (German language) conversation with our Programme Manager, Gil Shohat, for our series (Re-)Shaping Europe.„Nun sprechen wir selbst.“ Diese Worte stehen am Anfang des Manifests von #OutInChurch, mit welchem sich heute über einhundert hauptamtliche, ehrenamtliche und ehemalige Mitarbeitende der römisch-katholischen Kirche in Deutschland öffentlich als queer geoutet haben. Die Aktivist*innen fordern unter anderem ein Ende der Diskriminierung queerer Katholikinnen und Katholiken in allen Handlungs- und Berufsfeldern der Kirche, die Möglichkeit zur kirchlichen Segnung sowie den Zugang zu Sakramenten für LGBTIQ+ - Personen und Paaren, sowie die Übernahme von Verantwortung für die, so schreiben es die Initiatorinnen und Initiatoren der Kampagne, „institutionelle Schuldgeschichte“ der Queerfeindlichkeit durch die katholischen Bischöfe. Einer, der die Kampagne mit initiiert hat, ist Dialogperspektiven-Teilnehmer Thomas Spinrath. Er ist seit 2019 bei unserem Programm dabei und hat mit uns in dieser Podcast-Folge über die Ziele der Kampagne sowie sein persönliches Spannungsverhältnis von katholischer Sozialisation und Queerness erläutert. Wir diskutierten weiterhin die Aussichten dieser Kampagne sowie darüber, was es bedeutet, als queere Person Mitglied einer strukturell queerfeindlichen Institution zu sein. Intro: Carleigh Garcia; Speakers: Gil Shohat; Thomas Spinrath; Audio-Edit: Gal Yaron Mayersohn; Music: Viktor Rosengrün; Project Leadership: Jo Frank, Johanna Korneli; | © 2022 DialoguePerspectives | www.dialogueperspectives.org
