Heretical Kung Attacks Pope Benedict XVI

After finding hope in his meeting with Pope Benedict at the beginning of his pontificate, Kueng criticizes his former colleague for failing the world by not approving of birth control to control "overpopulation", not passing out condoms to control "AIDS" among other things, and condemns the Pope for issuing the Motu Proprio, Anglicanorum Coetibus (the document inviting Anglicans to join the Catholic Church).

Strangely, Associated Press, noted that the heretical priest is encouraging Bishops to be disobedient.

After declaring Benedict's "restoration" dead, in his open letter for the Suddeutsche Zeitung, the rebellious cleric issues a feeble rallying call to the Bishops to hold a new council which he wants to correct all of the problems of Church by submitting to the the spirit of the world and instituting changes to the Church he supposes will fulfill the will of the Council Fathers.

There is a war of interpretations going on about the true import of the ambiguous documents of the Second Vatican Council.

The most recent update indicates that Father Lombardi actually works for Cardinal Bertone. Strange.

The director of the Vatican press office-- often identified in the media as a spokesman for the Pope-- actually takes his directions from the Secretariat of State, a BBC story reveals.

In an otherwise conventional report on the public-relations problems of the Holy See, BBC reports Father Federico Lombardi has not spoken directly with Pope Benedict about the sex-abuse scandal. "It is the Secretariat of State that decides the line, and I try to communicate that as best I can," Father Lombardi said.

The official spokesman for the Holy See said that he is "dependent on the Vatican's Secretariat of State, from whom I get directions."
