Disputed truth : memoirs

It is not well known that as a young man Kung was a close friend and confidant of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (Benedict XVI). Increasingly, however, they came to represent exactly what the other most despised. But on being appointed to the Holy See, Ratzinger had a long private meeting with Kung, the consequences of which may still last. In these memoirs Kung gives his personal account of all these struggles and ambitions. The result is a book of major importance for students of the Church in the 20th Century. This second volume covers the period following the close of the Second Vatican Council up to the present day.

  • "Hans Küng has been a major influence on post-war Christianity by any reckoning. a peritus for the second Vatican council, he then went on to publish a number of controversial books, including Infallible? An Enquiry (1971), which enraged the Vatican and caused him to lose the ecclesiastical approval of his teaching at the university of Tübingen. However, he remains a respected priest in good standing with his bishop. Throughout all the upheavals that the Catholic Church has undergone in recent decades, Küng has been an outspoken observer, turning himself from enfant terrible to béte noire. Howe."@en
  • ""'Disputed Truth' begins with Hans Küng as an outstanding young professor of theology who has made his mark at the Second Vatican Council and is now faced with the revolutionary student unrest of 1968. It ends with the removal of his accreditation as a Catholic teacher after more than a decade of measures against him by the authorities. In striking parallel to this runs the career of a fellow Tübingen professor, Joseph Ratzinger, who by the end of the book has risen through the Catholic hierarchy on a course which will eventually lead to his election as Pope Benedict XVI"--Page 4 of cover."
  • "Autobiografie van de Zwitserse, rooms-katholieke theoloog (geboren in 1928), bekend vanwege zijn kritsche houding en conflict met Rome."
