pameladeanThis entire article is interesting. And it's a serious matter.
But when I got to this paragraph, I cracked up completely.
"'I've always said that if one priest in a diocese is roused, that counts for nothing. Five will create a stir. Fifty are pretty much invincible. In Austria the figure is well over 300, possibly up to 400 priests; in Switzerland it's about 150 who have stood up and it will increase.'"
If one priest is roused, they'll think he's just crazy and nobody will listen to him. If two priests are roused, they'll think they're both crazy and nobody will listen to either of 'em. But if fifty priests, fifty priests a day --
I hope it's a movement.

Date: 2014-01-18 05:30 pm (UTC)I had wondered what had happened to Hans Küng since I'd read nothing about him for years, so good to know he's still alive and still trying to shift the Church away from authoritarian behavior (I occasionally murmur that Communism and Catholicism have a lot in common and that's why those isms hate each other) and am now wondering what he thinks of the current pope.
(Didn't know you had an account over here!)
