Berger in 2011

David Berger (born 8 March 1968 in Würzburg) is a German theologian, author and former gay activist.

Biography

From 1991 to 1998 Berger studied philosophy, Roman Catholic theology and German language and literature in Würzburg, Cologne and Dortmund. Berger is a German neo-Thomist and a former professor of the Pontifical Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome, though the Catholic Church has since revoked his ability to teach religion. Before that time, he worked as a religious education teacher at a high school in Erftstadt, Germany. Until February 2015 he was the editor-in-chief of the gay periodical MÄNNER (Berlin). A supporter of the right-wing anti-migration party AFD, Berger has distanced himself from the German LGBT movement.

In 2010, Berger wrote in his book Der heilige Schein: Als schwuler Theologe in der katholischen Kirche (“The holy sham: A gay theologian in the Catholic church”), that 20 to 40 percent of the Catholic clergy are homosexual.
