Rahner and Ratzinger branded 'heretics' by Lefebvrists during Vatican II
Catholic News Service ^ | October 14, 2012

Supporters of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, founder of Society of St Pius X, branded the future Pope Benedict XVI and the late Jesuit theologian Karl Rahner "heretics" during the Second Vatican Council, reports The Tablet.

A previously undiscovered letter written by Karl Rahner to his brother, Fr Hugo Rahner SJ, during the council in November 1963 has revealed that the French Intégristes - followers of Lefebvre - accused him and Fr Joseph Ratzinger as "heretic[s] who deny the existence of hell and are worse than Teilhardt de Chardin and the Modernists".

The letter, part of an exhibition in Munich, states that Rahner consoled himself with the knowledge that the pamphlet in which the accusation appeared also called Pope John XXIII "a harbinger of the Anti-Christ" and attacked Cardinal Giovanni Montini, the future Pope Paul VI.

All the breast beating about "two thousand years of tradition" (usually aimed at Protestants, which I am not) is hypocritical considering that chrstianity began as a "protestant revolt" against the immemorial Tradition of Sinai which had been spoken by the very Mouth of G-d

So you suggest that rabbinic judaism continue tradition of Sinai? Please... When you read the Bible, the new testament in particular, you see universal gospel of God. You feel the love of our Lord. There is no comparison with chauvinist T*lmud, a total falsification of God's word. In fact the book should be burned along with Q*ran, both are aimed to divide people while the Bible try to unite them.

I’m not surprised. A few years ago, Cardinal Ratzinger strongly suggested Limbo of the Unborn does not exist and all unbaptized infants, born and unborn, who died are in Heaven.

Enough. This kind of rhetoric on a Religion forum, no less FR’s Religion forum? You want to speak of book burnings, then go to Stormfront; don’t peddle that Satanic stuff here please, never mind spreading leftist/fascist propaganda about the Talmud, which does not claim to be Scripture as the Koran does.

And frankly, Christianity did not begin as a revolt against the Torah.

So this is fine when Zionist Conspirator try to offend our Lord Jesus Christ but this is not OK when I want to condemn false religions? This is kind of liberalism that I don't practice...

I don't know what the racists have to say about books burning and honestly I don't care about it. I know that Catholic Church have long history of such practices. It was abandoned only because it is not effective anymore. This is nothing wrong if the content is satanic.

never mind spreading leftist/fascist propaganda about the Talmud

Really?

Sephardi leader Yosef: Non-Jews exist to serve Jews http://www.jta.org/news/article/2010/10/18/2741341/rabbi-yosef-non-jews-exist-to-serve-jews

And frankly, Christianity did not begin as a revolt against the Torah.

Of course, I agree.
