Diocese of Trier failed to chance: Inclusion and accessibility are missing

Mülheim-Kärlich, Deutschland - The case Stefan Zeidan from Mülheim-Kärlich is an urgent wake-up call for the Catholic Church in the diocese of Trier! A chance has been wasted here to focus on inclusion and accessibility. While society is developing, the church remains behind its possibilities and shows that it has a long way to do in terms of accessibility.

Zeidan, who fights for his dreams, exemplifies for many who want more openness and flexibility. The institution, which is often perceived as dusted, did not take the opportunity to present itself as modern and adaptable. Instead, the impression remains that the church traditions are given by people's needs. To go into a clash that is anchored in the teachings of Jesus was missed. It's not about throwing traditions overboard, but about finding alternatives and taking new ways to support people like Zeidan.

A call to change

It can be seen painfully that an institution that should stand for community and charity has failed in this regard. People have to feel and support themselves, and that is exactly what the diocese of Trier does not seem to have managed in the case of Stefan Zeidan. An appeal to those responsible: shows the courage to change and work for an inclusive future!
