Die Schlöndorff-Variante

Ohne absichtlich in einen ausgestandenen oder wenigstens beendeten Konflikt weiteres Öl gießen zu wollen, zitiere ich dennoch aus einem Interview mit Volker Schlöndorff zu seinem "Neunten Tag":

"Has Schlöndorff's 'good Jesuit training' influenced his own religious views? Schlöndorff acknowledges that Catholicism has had a lasting impact on his life, though he never made the decision to convert. 'This is very personal... I had my daughter baptized Catholic, I promised to give her a Catholic education—with the communion and all that. I didn't personally convert to anything... I believe in spirituality, and I think that in our western world the Catholic faith, the Catholic religion seems to make more sense than the Protestant. But that would be a long, long argument. But that is something I came to understand.'" (Godspy)
