Slovak singer and influencer David Key (29)real name Radovan Kúdelka, is known for his controversy on the music scene and social networks. He gained popularity not only thanks to music, but also through participation in TV show without a napkin, where he appeared alongside Nora Kabrheľová. On the last day of August surprised his followers to video from baptism.
“The mother -in -law became a baptismal mother. At the age of 29, I decided on the greatest reset of my life. I felt the darkness that benefited me until I opened the heart of God. I was crying all the pain and received baptism, holy communion and God’s body – day by day, without long preparations. What I have experienced cannot be described – purity, freedom and power, as well as faith. God changes lives. I’m proof of that, ” wrote on Sunday.
Two days later everything was different. He said he was leaving the Church and explaining the reason. “My name is David Key, I’m openly gay, artist and influencer who never hid his identity. At 29 years I decided to accept baptism in the Catholic Church because I believed that faith should belong to all people – no matter. I took this step at a small parish in one Slovak village And I shared a video from this moment on my social networks, ”he said to the beginning and continued.
“Instead of receiving and the love that the Church preaches, an avalanche of hatred, insults and condemnation – not only from anonymous on the Internet, but also from the priest himself who baptized me. This priest contacted me personally and asked me to remove the video because he is afraid of punishment from ‘higher church authorities’. Instead of the joy of finding a way to faith, scandal and fear are solved, ” added.
“This is the image of today’s Church. The Church, which should be home to all, remains the club. The Church, who preaches about love, is practicing condemnation. The Church, which is overstated by Christ’s teachings, actually lives in the shadow of prejudice and fear of his own superiors, ”wrote outraged David and He announced that he officially withdraws from the Catholic Church.
“You will not take my faith, but I do not want to be part of an institution that is ashamed of me and is afraid of my own shadow. My way to God continues – without you, but free and sincere. I am also sending this statement to Pope Leo, because I believe that even on the top of the Church, someone should hear that everyone can believe – both gay and sinner, and a man who is not afraid to show his face and truth, ” ended.
