Hans King

[Heinrich]

Hi all

I just like to know from do catholics still agree with the theologian Hans King?

He is mentioned of as a catholic theologian, but I think I'll just make sure

And if you do do you think it's worth reading his work?
(I have a book on him at home)

And then do anybody know of a GOOD web-site on St. Augustine? (spelling?)

Thanks for you help.

I believe you mean Hans Kung.

Yes, he is a Catholic theologian. But he does have some beliefs that are at odds with what the Church teaches. He may be owrth reading but keeping in mind he is a theologien and can not be relied upon to faithfully represent what the Church preaches, theaches and confesses.

 

[Axion]

His position is uncertain. He remains a "Catholic", but is regarded as a dissident who cannot speak for the Church.

In 1979 Kung was stripped of his right to teach as a Roman Catholic theologian, and has been banned from teaching as a Catholic theologian at Tubingen University because of his outspoken rejection of papal primacy and other key Catholic teachings as well as his support for Abortion.

He is often however, quoted as a "Catholic Theologian" by non-Catholics.

Kung, pronounced more like king, is a Catholic in name only. His views are so out of line that nobody was surprised when he was publicly censured. I certainly would not recommend him to you, Heinrich, or to anyone else. He interprets Christianity thru a secularist-humanistic lens.

He would not be a good one to read to understand Catholic theology . .

Peace in Him!

Good Day, Heinrich

I would not shy away from reading his stuff he has written mostly about Theology and not so much about the RC faith and morals. From the world of Christain Teologians{sp} he is a little out of the main stream from what I understand. I know a lot of RCC lay people who read and love his work. Some times reading things you may not agree with is a great leaning exersize.

My 2 cents,
