Hans Küng, Catholic priest and Swiss theologian, has taken great pains to end the 16th-century schism between Catholics and Protestants since he wrote his doctoral dissertation on "Justification. The Teaching of Karl Barth and a Catholic Reflection" in 1957.

Thoughts?
I don't know enough about Barth to comment.

Kung and Barth are/were theistic evolutionists which carried to its logical conclusion is mankind will ultimately be like god. Kung also is in favor of euthanasia which seems to be a contradiction in evolutionary thinking.

Well, he didn't believe that the Scriptures were the word of God, he believed in Universal atonement, that the creation story was a myth, he had a Romanist view of justification, his political views devolved to Stalinism, or at least a defense of Stalin;

My guess is that he would have been a big fan of the current Pope.

For additional reading, you might try http://www.trinityfoundation.org/journal.php?id=147 There is a brief discussion on the Puritan Board that I didn't find particularly helpful but for the link to the Trinity Foundation item above.
