I'll look into that. I'm praying that it's not so. That would be like a gut shot to me.
Sorry, but it's true. That is one of the reasons I make the fuss I do about this pontiff. His actions are inexplicable.
Kasper's theology is eccentric and not really orthodox.
But the reason Kasper was "promoted" to "Unity of Christians" (or whatever) was that JPII wanted Kasper OUT of Germany before he finished leading the German Church off a cliff.
Note well: whenever Kasper flaps his yap in Rome, he is either contradicted immediately (if the remark deserves it) or is just about totally ignored by the rest of the Curia.
This was a "lateral arabesque" as described in "Up the Organization" by the ex-President of Avis.
