Frases de Hans Küng

Hans Küng é um teólogo suíço, filósofo, professor de teologia.

Küng estudou teologia e filosofia na Pontifícia Universidade Gregoriana de Roma. Foi ordenado sacerdote em 1954. Continuou a sua educação em várias cidades europeias, incluindo Sorbonne em Paris. Sua tese doutoral foi "Justificação: A doutrina de Karl Barth e uma reflexão católica".

Em 1960 Küng foi nomeado professor de teologia na Universidade Eberhard Karls em Tübingen, Alemanha. Juntamente com o seu colega Joseph Ratzinger , foi apontado como perito pelo Papa João XXIII como consultor teológico para o Concílio Vaticano II.

No final da década de 1960, Küng iniciou uma reflexão rejeitando o dogma da Infalibilidade Papal, publicada no livro Infallible? An Inquiry em 18 de janeiro de 1970.

Em consequência disso, em 18 de dezembro de 1979 foi revogada a sua licença pela Igreja Católica Apostólica Romana de oficialmente ensinar teologia em nome dela, mas permaneceu como sacerdote e professor em Tübingen até a sua aposentadoria em 1996.

Em 26 de setembro de 2005 encontrou-se com o Papa Bento XVI, surpreendendo ao encontrarem-se para jantar e discutir teologia.

Küng defende o fim da obrigatoriedade do celibato clerical, maior participação laica e feminina na Igreja Católica, que, segundo sua interpretação, seria um retorno da teologia baseada na mensagem da Bíblia.

Em 2015, sofrendo do Mal de Parkinson, passou a considerar a hipótese de ser submetido a um suicídio assistido. Wikipedia

Hans Küng: Frases em inglês

“We must fight the patriarchal misunderstanding of God.”

Newsweek interview, July 8, 1991
Contexto: If you cannot see that divinity includes male and female characteristics and at the same time transcends them, you have bad consequences. Rome and Cardinal O'Connor base the exclusion of women priests on the idea that God is the Father and Jesus is His Son, there were only male disciples, etc. They are defending a patriarchal Church with a patriarchal God. We must fight the patriarchal misunderstanding of God.

“There will be no peace among the nations without peace among the religions. There will be no peace among the religions without dialogue among the religions.”

Address at the opening of the Exhibit on the World's Religions at Santa Clara University (31 March 2005) note: Elaborations and extensions of this declaration occur in Küng's later writings, including: There will be no peace among the nations without peace among the religions. There will be no peace among the religions without dialogue among the religions. There will be no dialogue among the religions without global ethical standards. There will therefore be no survival of this globe without a global ethic.

“The Pope would have an easier job than the President of the United States in adopting a change of course.”

"If Obama were Pope" (31 January 2009) http://www.progressiveinvolvement.com/progressive_involvement/2009/01/if-obama-were-pope-by-professor-hans-kung.html
Contexto: The Pope would have an easier job than the President of the United States in adopting a change of course. He has no Congress alongside him as a legislative body nor a Supreme Court as a judiciary. He is absolute head of government, legislator and supreme judge in the church. If he wanted to, he could authorize contraception over night, permit the marriage of priests, make possible the ordination of women and allow eucharistic fellowship with this Protestant churches. What would a Pope do who acted in the spirit of Obama?
