“In his work as a priest and scholar, Hans Küng was concerned to make the message of the Gospel understandable and to give it a place in the lives of the faithful.”

“I am thinking in particular of his efforts with regard to a living ecumenism, his commitment to interreligious and intercultural dialogue, and the Global Ethic Foundation he founded, with its important research and projects on peace, justice, and the integrity of creation.”

That’s a polite way to say heretic.

I once read a 750 page book by Hans Kung titled "Does God exist?"

He offered up argument after argument attempting to prove God exists. Only to counter each with a skeptic's view.

In the end, he decided that the only way to know that God exists is to have a personal encounter with Him.

I disagree, the evidence is around us in all creation including our wonderfully made bodies and the intricate mechanics of even a single cell. Proof is also in the prophecies, some of which have come true recently with the restoration of Israel. And there is evidence of miracles.

I can't refute the logic of his arguments. Someone who wants to remain a skeptic will find a way. For that person, a personal encounter may be the only solution, and even then they may choose to remain skeptical.
