This bombshell still resonates today: two months ago, the bishops rejected Viola Kohlberger as the DPSG candidate for the office of Federal Curator. In the big Kirche+Leben interview, the young theologian openly explains how she felt about it – and what she plans to do.
Ms. Kohlberger, around two months have passed since it became known that the bishops had rejected you as a candidate for the office of Federal Curator at the DPSG. How do you feel about this decision today?
I still cannot understand the decision. Especially because I know that I met all the qualifications. The bishops have still not given any reasons. But the feeling of helplessness has subsided somewhat. I no longer feel as helpless as I did two months ago, when the ground was pulled out from under me. I still have no career prospects, but I feel better about it than I did eight weeks ago.
How did you find out about the bishops’ decision?
