Has Kung spoke out yet about his former colleage Pope Benedict XVI (Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger)?
Yes, he has. He said in a German TV interview. He called the appointment of Ratzinger a "great disappointment". He goes on to say that "many others would have been better choices". Here he cited Martini and Lehman. But Küng also expressed some hope Ratzinger could return to his more conciliatory roots: "The (papal) office changes everyone". On a personal level Küng described Ratzinger as "distanced, cool and, if necessary, Machiavellian". (entire interview: rtsp://video.daserste.azzoo.net/realcontent/moma/050420_3_28.rm)

What a pal. I feel the love!
While I understand a pope meets with many people, includding heretics and dictators, this meeting is the sort of thing that weakens the Church. Why must the water always be muddied? We need a strong voice speaking out for Truth, not nicey-nice meetings with those who seek to destroy the Faith.
