Hans Kung: Touchstone of Foolishness

                                  The archetype of post-Vatican II theologian, right down to the tan (note the autograph!)

In interview with fawning Der Spiegel, Kung compares Benedict to Putin; calls for new Luther

I especially enjoyed this specimen of Kungian logic:

Kung writes open letter to bishops criticizing pope and "Roman system."
All 5,000 bishops ignore Kung's letter.   
Ergo, bishops lack courage.

The translated interview appeared in Commonweal, naturally.
