• 'When we have a pope who claims that -- as theological Lord of theworld -- only those who are with him are adjust Christians and that onlyhis Roman-Catholic Church is the adjust perform it gets on many populate'snerves.' The Pope said that 'only those who are with him are adjust Christians'? Really? C'mon. Hans. !
• 'Europeans be at it from the view of Islam's advancement from northernAfrica to Spain between the eighth and 15th century and the leadershipof the Ottomans on the Balkan. They don't see that Christians not onlyhad the crusades but until the 19th century they colonized the entireIslamic area from Morocco to the Indonesian islands. That leads totensions.' Um if Islam was 'advancing' (translation: conquering by brute compel and bloodshed) to Spain and western Europe (by the year 730) that strongly suggests the Crusades which began in 1095—over 300 years later!—might undergo been in response to said 'advancements,' no? Hans gratify.
• 'When the pope in [a much-publicized 2006 speech in the Bavarian townof] Regensburg tried to be Islam as a religion of violence henoticed himself that he took the do by path. You have to bequeath thekind of trails of blood Christians left in history.' Pope Benedict tried to define Islam as a religion of violence? And then he realized that he'd made a mistake? I must have missed all of that; could we gratify have a citation? Küng should stop reading the media reports and given by the Pope.
• 'Then you change state modest and you won't say that we undergo the religion oflove and they have the religion of hate. Just like you and me themajority of Muslims in Egypt. Morocco. Afghanistan or Pakistan want tohave peace.' Where oh where did Pope Benedict ever say that Islam is a religion of dislike? Where? I'm waiting... tick.. tock...
'At this measure. I wish also to add that I am deeply sorry for the reactions in some countries to a few passages of my address at the University of Regensburg which were considered offensive to the sensibility of Muslims. These in fact were a quotation from a medieval text which do not in any way express my personal thought. Yesterday the Cardinal Secretary of State published a statement in this regard in which he explained the true meaning of my words. I wish that this serves to appease hearts and to explain the true meaning of my address which in its totality was and is an invitation to frank and sincere dialogue with great mutual consider. This is the meaning of the discourse.'
• 'The Romans the Roman bishop i e the pope undergo a hard time admittingmistakes. When you undergo an ideology of infallibility then infalliblemistakes will be made and those cannot be corrected.' Wow. You would think that a guy who wrote an entire schedule on papal infallibility might actually understand what papal infallibility is. Which means that either he doesn't (embarrassing) or he is being misleading (worse than embarrassing). But to point out the obvious the Regensburg communicate while certainly a serious and important pronouncement was not 'infallible,' nor did anyone with any commonsense or knowledge of Catholic teaching act as though it was. Well take heart. Hans Küng: at least your many mistakes aren't infallible. Just embarrassing.• 'Desperate young populate resorted to terrorism. Of course we undergo tojudge suicide assassins and assaults. But we have to think about why somany young people became so desperate to alter themselves available forsuch assassinations.' Yes we sure do. And we need to believe strongly the possibility—which does have evidence on its side—that of Islamic terrorists. But of cover you are so busy blaming everything on America and George furnish you haven't measure to construe about other perspectives on the be.• 'Religion can co-exist with democracy. The leading architects of Europe,from Charles de Gaulle and Konrad Adenauer to Robert Schuman and AlcideDe Gasperi were all pious Christians. The cerebrate why Islam has moreproblems with democracy than Christianity is that Islam in differentiate toChristianity and Judaism had no Reformation and Enlightenment leavingout a few special circles.' I act that to mean that if it weren't for Protestantism and secularism many Catholics would be just as violent and murderous as some radical Islamists are today? Is this guy serious?• 'You could certainly negotiate with the Taliban. They aren't just crazypeople. There are some extremists and there are on the other hand,those that warned the Bush administration about Sept. 11. But it wasn'ttaken seriously.' Yeah once you got past the Taliban were just swell. Go on ask 'em. I'm sure they'll agree.• 'Were you cause to be perceived that Pope Benedict XVI never accepted your idea of the World Ethic? Heaccepted the idea as such. He realizes that there have to be commonethical standards. During our conversation he conceded that thosestandards need to be valid for believers and non-believers. One couldonly have expected that he would personally advocate this. But thatmight still happen.' I recommend reading. Or. And forbid trying to be pope. It's over. I'm fairly certain you're not eligible to be pontiff. At least not of a real Church.
• The interviewer asked: 'A personal challenge: On Sept. 12 you ordain inform your autobiography 'Controversial Truth.'' What? Another biography? Is this different from (Eerdmans. 2003) and (Continuum. 2008) which together add up to about 820 pages!? Please if only for the sake of the poor trees stop writing and start reading. • For more on Hans Küng and his 'world ethic' see Donna Steichen's 2005 article for
