”Hans Küng var profeten som Vatikanen mest fruktade”

PressRelease

 Hans Küng was the Prophet the Vatican feared the most 

9 April 2021 We Are Church International mourns the death of the great Prophet Hans Küng who clearly set out the reforms necessary to bring the Catholic Church back to Christ. 

On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of We Are Church in autumn 2020, Hans Küng wrote to us: 

”From the beginning, I have supported We Are Church in every respect. In its demands it has the message of Jesus Christ behind it and at the same time it corresponds to the requirements of today’s democratic and pluralistic society. In the time of the two Restoration Popes Wojtyla and Ratzinger, there was little hope that your concerns would be heard in the hierarchy. With Pope Francis, however, a turning point seems to have occurred that makes it easier for some of your  demands to be met. In the wintry Church, We Are Church has kept the embers smouldering under the ashes. May the fire of reform now finally take hold of the whole Church and also the Vatican. So continue, dear friends: courage, creativity and perseverance!”

”Hans Küng (b. 1928), who died on April 6 at the age of 93, was the youngest and third most influential Catholic theologian of the second half of the 20th century, after Karl Rahner, S.J., (1904-84) and Edward Schillebeeckx, O.P., (1914-2009)”
