You know you are over the target when you are receiving flak.

By the grace of God, Benedict is Pope and Kung is not.

Fr. Hans may wish to reflect on God's choice but, some how, I doubt he will.

Muslims cannot be Pope.

He is just a few months younger than the Pope, and the two were colleagues in the 60s. Fr. Kung got the Pope his job as a professor at Tubingen. But since 1968 they have diverged.

Looking in from the outside (not RC here), this guy sounds like a putz:

“Benedict is unteachable in matters of birth control and abortion, . . . .”

“Unteachable” -— curious Bill Ayers vibe to that.

>Muslims cannot be Pope.

You, sir, are right. In fact, a poor little protestant like me has MORE of a chance of being the pope than a muslim.

As dumb as Williamson is, Kung is far worse. He is a mole, trying to destroy the Catholic Church.

This taught me all I needed to know about Kung.

Gee, how exciting and ecumenical this would be and what an honor for the world to have Obama be everything for us. I wonder if we could add Secretary General and Grand Iman as well? Just simplify everything to have Obama being able to speak ex Cathedra from Mecca and having the lion dine with the lamb. At least it should either get him out of Washington or the Vatican moved to DC. Now what is next?

Calling Hans Kung a putz is an insult to putz.

Those who care nothing for apostolic teaching authority venerate Kung as a great thinker.

If it were Kung who was leading the RCC, we'd have the membership of the ECUSA, with its flailing and lost theology bleeding its members into more truthful religious venues.

If nothing else, Kung is evidence of a crisis that cannot be solved by men and of which Obama simply may be another symptom.

Well, the meanest word I know is “mamzer” (it’s like the bastard child of incest or similar couplings).

That work?

It works better than you realize ... his theology is the bastard child of misunderstood Christianity and Marxism.

I don’t see the Roman Catholic Church as Christian in any except a sociological sense — but, good grief, what an idiot Kung is.

How can you respect a man who voluntarily associates himself with an openly, historically, rigidly hierarchical church, and then tries to trash the hierarchy?

All sorts of colossally-important things reflect poorly on Romanism. This doesn’t. It reflects poorly on Kung.

Sheesh.
