Newly emphasizing the authority of the Bible, Catholics freely borrow from the best in Protestant scriptural scholarship. In theology, there has been a renewed appreciation for a doctrine dear to Luther's heart: the concept of the priesthood of all believers. Catholic moralists now pay full respect to the right of the individual conscience before God. Barriers that to Protestants seem almost insurmountable remain-notably the Marian emphasis of Catholicism, and the supremacy of the Pope-but Küng asks: "If Martin Luther had lived in the Catholic Church of today, what course would he have followed...

All have at their fingertips the greatest daily outpouring of source material on earth-U.S. newspapers-and few hesitate to borrow heavily, with or without attribution. "If there is a real problem," says erudite Werner Imhoof of Switzerland's Neue Zürcher Zeitung, "it's that you are overwhelmed by news...
