Life
Positions
In March 2019, Dieser said, exceptions from clerical celibacy in the Catholic Church should be allowed. In his opinion, there should be a reform of the Catholic sexual morality and sexual acts between homosexual partnerships no longer a sin in Roman Catholic catechism.[3] In June 2020, Dieser said blessing of same-sex partnerships should be allowed in the Roman catholic church.[4]
