| Is Hans Küng in Danger of Suicide? |
The newspaper founder Eugenio Scalfari, in his well-known atheist and anticlerical from Masonic tradition, has been granted generous access, correspondence and interviews of the Argentine Pope. The other, trendsetting left media throughout the world is influenced by La Repubblica. Reciprocally La Republica forms the Italian link to an international media chain with ideological affinity.
La Repubblica "Papal" Steering Committee?
It is unclear, still, how the unusual contact came exactly about. Neither Pope Francis nor Scalfari has hinted so far, to have met each before the conclave. According to the representation of the doyen of left-liberal journalism Pope Francis was looking for the contact after Scalfari had written rhetorical questions to the Pope in the summer of 2013 in two editorials.
The pope reads La Repubblica ? What caused the Pope, to "request" to respond precisely to Scalfaris? The use of this style means ultimately belongs to the everyday routine in media, as just proved. Or put it another way: Who has Pope Francis and why come to this contact?
Whatever the case. La Repubblica benefits heartily since it is the nimbus of a "quasi-papal" steering committee. So also when it comes to those "Catholic" positions and to showcase people who are Scalfaris' lodge mates. This includes both the German theologian Hans Küng and the "newest" concern: the legalization of euthanasia.
Hans Küng's Pamphlet: "Die Happy?"
Hans Küng: Die Happy
La Repubblica announced the appearance of a new book by the former Conciliar Peritus in a one page article . "The decision of Hans Küng: 'I, a German theologian will alone decide when and how to die,' said the grandiose headline. It was followed by the subtitle that Küng has 'newly opened' with his new book, the "discussion about the good death". Scalfaris' Daily employs its considerable propaganda effort, in which it has admittedly rich experience. Much effort for the 160 page pamphlet published on September 1st, entitled "Die Happy?" (Piper, Munich, 2014), which ultimately contained the easily predictable cud of the usual undigested and indigestible, relentlessly boring catho-progressive positions. But for La Repubblica there is no fanfare critical of the church that is too weird, too insignificant to be untenable, as that they had not broadcast it loudly in text and image.
The international left-liberal media chain works. Finally, the West German counterpart, Süddeutsche Zeitung has already published a mega review by Matthias Drobinski. The domino effect of Hans Kung's book has passed around the globe. The book also includes a discussion by TV presenter Anne Will with Hans Küng. Will offered an interview with the chairman of the euthanasia organization Dignitas in 2007 and 2009 the German "death helper" and former Hamburg Senator, Roger Kusch, on her talk show as a platform for their euthanasia theses. In November 2013, she broadcast the interview with Hans Küng under the "cute" title ""Euthanasia - the Good Death ", which has now been printed in the book.
The "Exegete of the Pope" and the Dark Evil Prefect of the CDF
Since La Repubblica not stand back, but - "ennobled" by special papal benevolence - lay it on a bit. Repubblica author Andrea Tarquini presents Hans Küng as "one of the greatest Catholic theologians of our time, the great rebel (but exegete of Pope Francis)" . Thus it is written, literally: Hans Küng is the "exegete" of the Pope. La Repubblica must know. Until now, the Vatican was quite shy about denying the paper. And yet when it has happened, then in the form of a rather ambiguous balancing act. Vatican spokesman Father Lombardi SJ is not an enviable man.
In fact, Hans Küng had announced last spring, that he no longer has to be one of the "Pope's critics" since the election of Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio. For Pope Francis had "overcome" that "unnecessary doctrinal pettiness" of the indissolubility of sacramental marriage, and was already ready to finally justify the killing of unborn children and to consider the admission of women priests. In short, all the best under the starry sky of Küng and Scalfari? Yes, if not for the dark evil, backward-looking pressure of the CDF and its prefect" Gerhard Cardinal Ludwig Müller. Is Cardinal Müller even blame that Hans Küng is suicidal today?
Who is Surprised by Hans Kung's Euthanasia Support?
What did the "exegete of the Pope" proclaim ex Cathedra that progressive theologian who'd quite come to the heights of glory for the future? What is it, what is La Repubblica announcing in a dramatic production with drum roll and fanfare? Küng argues in terms of suicide for a "differentiated attitude" to unblock the discussion between Christians and non-Christians. One is amazed. The unilateral disarmament on the Catholic side is music to Scalfaris' ears, it is not new though, and certainly not from Hans Kung's mouth.
One marvels at La Repubblica: do Scalfaris' editors really believe this, that it was a sensation and would breathlessly tear off the stool, if someone like Hans Küng, the "great theologian" and "exegete of the Pope", who, is already for the murder of unborn children has for women priests, for free sex with a condom, for the Communion for all, for direct democracy in the Vatican and so on so forth, and so persistently, has now arrived, sick at the end of his life, to also promote euthanasia?
For 20 years and Still For "The First Time"
In La Repubblica they seem to be convinced or at least seem to be doing that. Without blushing he states: "It is the first time that a great Catholic theologian has "spoken out" for the euthanasia. The explanation was delivered just like this by Tarquini. A few lines later he writes: "Hans Küng suffers from Parkinson's disease. He is located in Switzerland in an institution and was already understood to want to end his life when the symptoms of a mental and physical decline are clearly noticeable. For a long time he has been a member of the Swiss organization 'Exit', perhaps the most infamous in the world to those that it helps, because they are exposed to a decline in physical and mental abilities and intolerable pain who want to die without care. "
Apart from the fact that modern palliative care today has good pain control, Hans Küng proclaimed in 1994 that there needs to be "death with dignity". So there have been at least 20 years since Hans Küng weighed against the Church's teaching on euthanasia. For La Repubblica 20 years but are just "for the first time".
Hans Küng "prophet" of the attack on the right to life
To the contents? It is anticipated: The reading is not worthwhile. According to Hans Küng the "right to life" is in no way derives "a duty to live". "Since when is it derived from the right to freedom, that there is an obligation to make stupid remarks?" was the question in the weekly magazine Tempi . No surprise there: The argumentative Salto of the justification of abortion to justify suicide is just a leap in logic. Not to mention: For those who euphemistically employ describing "euthanasia" as the "sweet death", are doing the same as killing. The attack on the right to life of people is always radical, brutal, categorically and ultimately boundless. Hans Küng is its "prophet".
Thinking Acrobatics: Küng Compares Martyrs with Suicides
Küng naturally knows the preferences for linguistic acrobatics of his time. In always formulating a "positive" urge, he describes the word euthanasia with all seriousness: "Euthanasia is understood as an extreme life coaching". He doesn't shrink from his dialectical swoop, the willingness of the early, persecuted Christians in the Roman Empire presented martyrdom as a form of euthanasia. For the early Christians would have preferred to die rather than to betray their brothers and sisters. Why should suicide, insists Küng, also be "a way to hell"? In all seriousness, Hans Küng equated the Christian martyrs with the ideologically motivated suicide of Piergiorgio Welby.
So in the end the tragic statement remains that euthanasia advocates in fact have a (nearly) Catholic theologian on their side. "But not for long if Küng wants to be a serious man", says Tempos .

Waste of bandwidth.
Hans Kung is one of the greatest scandals to ever affect contemporary catholicism.
I say scandal because he remains a priest in good standing on the basis that Pope Benedict for personal reasons failed to exercise proper ecclesiastical discipline concerning the truly dangerous theological poisons that Fr. Kung propagates.
Sadly many otherwise intelligent catholics have been corrupted and destroyed by taking seriously Fr.Kungs theological cyanide.
It is extremely doubtful that Pope Francis will properly censure him either.
Finally if you are reading this Fr Kung I suggest you rehabilitate yourself quickly with fundamental catholic truths before it is too late.
And pray Fr. Kung.
What juvenile reasoning, and support from the press. Is "juvenile' even the proper term? I'll be thankful for a better adjective.
Juvenile reasoning characterises Hans Kungs approach to theology and life
Everybody knows that immature people like Fr. Hans Kung continually reject all reality.
The mainstream press feed avidly on these heretical priests in order to disseminate their toxic gospels of death.

Maybe an Inquisitor will help him (and protect us sheep). I pray every day.
The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. Bergoglio and Kung have the wisdom of Hitler and Mussolini or Caiaphas and Judas. No doubt their deaths will be similar to all such prideful fools who trust in themselves. One can only imagine their wretched writhings in hell as they finally understand their own stupidity and how much evil they have committed. Yesterday, I was reading about “the wretched death of Antiochus”: “So that worms swarmed out of the body of this man, and whilst he lived in sorrow and pain, his flesh fell off, and the filthiness of his smell was noisome to the army. And the man that thought a little before he could reach to the stars of heaven, no man could endure to carry, for the intolerable stench. And by this means, being brought from his great pride, he began to come to the knowledge of himself, being admonished by the scourge of God, his pains increasing every moment. And when he himself could not now abide his own stench, he spoke thus: It is just to be subject to God, and that a mortal man should not equal himself to God. Then this wicked man prayed to the Lord, of whom he was not like to obtain mercy.” 2 Machabees 9:9-13 Earlier in the book I was struck by this passage: “Now I beseech those that shall read this book, that they be not shocked by these calamities, but that they consider the things that happened not as being for the destruction, but for the correction of our nation. For it is a token of great goodness when sinners are not suffered to go on in their ways for a long time, but are presently punished. For not as with other nations (whom the Lord patiently expecteth that when the day of judgment shall come, he may punish them in the fullness of their sins;) Doth he also deal with us so as to suffer our sins to come to their height and then take vengeance on us. And therefore he never withdraweth his mercy from us: but though he chastiseth his people with adversity he forsaketh them not. But let this suffice in a few words for a warning to the readers [then he narrates martyrdoms that Kung and Bergoglio would twist to their (and Satan's) use rather than God’s: imagine even the prideful Antiochus would bow the knee to the Lord and giver of Life--but not Kung who would prefer death and destruction to bowing the knee to anyone!] 2 Machabees 6:12-16
This old hertic is still around . I thought he was dead.

It is wrong of you to judge where God will place anybody after they die. Such a decision is final to God alone.
Never forget that God permits evil so that good may come out of it
Otherwise evil would have no purpose.
[this of course does not mean that anyone is permitted to do evil merely that Gods ultimate plans are never frustrated or impeded by the actions of evil people]
Suffering itself is an evil and must always be understood as part of Gods plan despite the entirely normal human repugnance to it.
Remember earthly existence is a test for everyone including Bergoglio and Kung.
Signed John Lordship.
"Suffering itself is an evil and must always be understood as part of Gods plan despite the entirely normal human repugnance to it."
So this is why God allows you to comment here?
False obedience, false charity, false humility, false Catholicism....
Mind your own business, Hans Kung is a great theologian you have (as a Christian?) sullied his reputation, and his good name.
A true Catholic are you....
If you're going to mind other people's business, especially when you tell them to mind their own business, it's best to explain yourself. Is there something untrue in what has been said?
