It is well known that the Vatican frowns upon men who love men. But that the centre of power of the Roman Catholic Church should at the same time be one of the largest gay communities worldwide was new to many when Frédéric Martel brought this thesis to the world in 2019.
After having published "In the Closet of the Vatican" simultaneously in eight languages, the French author and journalist was invited to countless talk shows, but the Vatican was shrouded in silence.
Whoever felt somehow different - just homosexual - as a young man in the 30s, 40s and 50s of the last century, found an oasis in the Roman Catholic Church, according to Martel. Men living among men, wearing different clothes and singing in a choir, that would have been the salvation for many, which was also accepted by society.
While most of the men Martel spoke to are very old, their world view remains: Homophobic on the outside, homophile on the inside. This led to a dangerous double standard, a culture of silence, which had very unhappily promoted the scandals around the Catholic Church.

Sterbehilfe, Sekten oder Minarette – das Thema Religion ist vielfältig und prägt so manche gesellschaftspolitische Debatte. Die Dokumentarfilme und Gespräche der «Sternstunde Religion» ordnen ein, schaffen Zusammenhänge und fragen nach – bei Religionsvertretern, Expertinnen, Betroffenen und Kritikern. Im Blick sind dabei nicht nur die grossen Weltreligionen, sondern auch andere Weltanschauungen und Religionsgemeinschaften.
