Hans Kung Exhuberant With Pope’s Response to His Appeal to Change Infallibility Dogma

National Catholic Reporter, Editor’s note: Fr. Hans Küng, the Swiss theologian, says that he has received a letter from Pope Francis that responds “to my request to give room to a free discussion on the dogma of infallibility.”

Küng declined to show the letter to NCR, citing “the confidentiality that I owe to the Pope,” but he says the letter was dated March 20 and sent to him via the nunciature in Berlin shortly after Easter.

Küng says the letter shows that “Francis has set no restrictions” on the discussions. Full report is here.
