Hans Küng talks about the new pope
http://www.euronews.com/ From Euronews Rudi Herbert spoke to the well-known theologian and church critic, Professor Hans Küng.
Rudi Herbert: “It was a giant media show in Rome, and the election was a surprise. But with his fragile health, isn’t he going to be just a transitional Pope?”
Hans Küng: “I am not worried about that. He is not going to be a transitional Pope. John 23rd. was only in office for 5 years and he changed the Church more than during the previous 500 years. The new Pope has already shown that he can change the whole atmosphere just by his simple and sober appearance.”
Rudi Herbert: “How should we interpret this election? Is Francis 1st going to be a Pope for the poor? He comes from the continent with most catholic believers and many social problems.”
Hans Küng: “He will certainly not give priority to the East/West problem like the last two Popes. But rather to the North/South and all the problems of the world’s poor. This has lots of moral implications. Think of over-population, birth control, all this will be debated again.”
Rudi Herbert: “What will be the new Pope’s most urgent task? Clearing up the abuse-scandals? The so-called Vatileaks scandal?”
Hans Küng: “Indeed. The new Pope is the only one with access to the secret report written by the three Cardinals for his
predecessor Pope Ratzinger. He will than realize who is not reliable in the Curia and what has happened. The most important mission is the reform of the Curia, a clear conception how the church should be led. It will be important to chose the right secretary of state, not to just confirm the leaders of the Roman ministries, but to bring in competent people, so as to really reform the church. We need nothing more urgently than a reform of the Roman court, which must become a centre of the church, which must really functions and not obstruct.”
Rudi Herbert “How much church do people need nowadays? What is the Catholic church in charge of today?”
Hans Küng: “A church can be a moral authority in the world if it is functioning correctly. But it must not allow Pharisaical behaviour nor point the moral finger. You have to be responsive to people’s hardships, show comprehension and also be stand together with other Christian churches and world religions. It has to work for peace in the world. So there are gigantic tasks, and I really hope this Pope will do more for the renewal of the church, more for Christian churches, more for peace and well being in the world than his two predecessors.”

What he wanted was for Church to become the Episcopalian/Anglican church

He is not a theologian; he is a left-wing activist.

A very sick man (mentally). He was a Catholic priest and high status professor, but mischaracterizes the primary mission of the Church (which is spiritual: salvation), and actually lies here in saying that previous Popes had little regard for the poor or the third world. He certainly knew better. Very sad.

He was not good. 1st he had a female friend rumored to be sexual. 2nd HE WAS A PROGRESSIVE THAT WAS AGAINST MOST OF THE MAGISTARIUM. HE WAS A HERETIC & PROBABLY INFLUENCED THE SCHISM THE GERMANS ARE GOING THROUGH. THE CERTAINLY SNUBBED POPE BENEDICT XVI WHEN HE WENT THERE, I SAW THEIR FACES ON CAMERA WHEN HE WAS THERE BUT EVERYBODY DENIED IT.👿 NOW YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY!

What does the heretic have to say? Show me in writing and tradition neo-modernism? Where did Jesus teach the Apostles and they the Catholic Church? He who teaches heresies is excommunicated before God automatically!

THE POPE MUST NOT GET OUT THE CATHOLIC SPIRIT OF CATHOLICISM IN CHRISTIANITY.
SO, THE POPE MUST THINK ABOUT THE UNIVERSALITY OF THE CATHOLIC FAITH, ITS USEFULNESS FOR THE WHOLE WORLD, NOT JUST FOR THE CHURCH, BUT THE CATHOLICISM OF THE CHURCH AS THE UNIVERSAL ASSETT FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD.

I wouldn’t listen to Hans. The Vatican in 1979 declared Hans Kung, guilty of heresy, stripping him of his right to teach and ruling that he "can no longer be considered a Catholic theologian.

The fact that you had to google him because you did not know him gives me already a clear picture of your cultural and religious education, so better not to continue with this conversation. Have a nice day!
