The old liberation theology priests of the left are pissed that they lost. Too bad, so sad. Cafeteria Catholicism has a stake pointed at its heart. Benedict needs to push it through.
Hans Kueng, ho hum... Actually, I think we only need look at the Episcopal Church today to see where the Catholic Church would be today if people like Kueng had their way with unfettered “liberalization” of Catholic doctrine and polity. I’m glad that the Rock of Peter has held back the tide, so to speak, of the liberal Zeitgeist.
It's more than a tale. Some of us are still reeling from the effects of bad bishops appointed by Paul VI at the recommendation of Archbishop Jean Jadot. The following article will give you tremendous insight into what they were hoping to accomplish.

What a bunch of aging fools these libs are!
Wisdom never seems to embrace them.
Do you mean infallibility or impeccability?
Infalliblity is distinct from impeccability, so you are correct and acruate to make the distinction. Infalliblity is give not to the Pope/Bishop of Rome in his person, but a guarantee by Christ through the Holy Spirit that exercising his role as the successor of St. Peter, the Bishop of Rome will teach, defend and correctly define matters of “Faith and morals” and not thus not teach unorthodox/heretical Doctrine.
It does not, and hever has meant, that Popes don’t struggle with the same “fallen and weakened human nature” that every human being shares in due to the consequences of original sin and thus sin like the rest of us.
Hope my explanation is clear on the distinction that you corrrectly pointed out/alluded to.

In all fairness to the Low Countries, Jadot and Schillebeecx have corrupted what in centuries past had been a distinguished Faith tradition. Loreto Publications has just released the first complete English translation of the “Commentary on the Four Gospels” by the 16th/17th century Flemish Jesuit Corelius a’Lapide:

Like Charles Curran, most of what Hans Kung says is hogwash.
Hans Kung was Ratzinger’s mentor? Since when?
Hans who?
Oh, that Hans! A passé theologian that no one reads anymore. Yep. Behold the sound of a mouse roaring.

Excellent quote! What is it from?
Title of the thread is intentionally misleading...
Who’d have thunk the press would do such a thing?
Another one that I enjoy is "An Habitation Enforced". An American couple find themselves in pretty much the same boat.
Kipling is a master of dialogue and mood, and his perfect vehicle was the short story. He's a miniaturist - the only novel of his that I can read with pleasure is Kim. His late short stories show utter familiarity with the English countryside, just as much as Kim shows how well he knew India.
Kung who?
