How God Created Us: Coming Out in the Catholic Church

About This Movie

This documentary has a raw, introspective tone that really pulls you in. It features these 125 employees of the Catholic Church in Germany who bravely come out as queer, which is pretty bold considering the institution's history. The pacing is steady, allowing their stories to unfold naturally. You get a real sense of struggle and resilience as they talk about their faith and identity. The atmosphere feels both tense and hopeful, capturing a moment of real change within a traditionally conservative space. What’s distinctive here is the sheer number of voices—it's not just one or two people, but a community standing together, which gives it a powerful impact. A fascinating watch, especially for those interested in LGBTQ+ narratives within religious contexts.
