...declaration of repentance. "We in the Church," says Küng, "are none of us guiltless of the world's unhappy state today, and the guilt of our fathers lies heavy upon us. It would be a truly Christian act if the Pope and the Council were to express this truth: Forgive us our sins! Forgive us our sins, and in particular our share in the sin of schism...
