...Even today the spirit of the Inquisition and unfreedom has not died out," said the Rev. Hans Küng, dean of the Roman Catholic theological faculty at Germany's Tübingen University, in a lecture on "The Church and Freedom" that he delivered across the U.S. last spring. Such polemics, directed at conservative Italians in the Roman Curia, drew big, interested crowds-3,000 at Boston College, 5,000 in Chicago, 6,000 in San Francisco. The Jesuit-run St.Louis University gave Küng an honorary doctorate of laws, hailing himas "a man of vision...
Many clerics firmly believe that youthful Theologian Küng's criticisms denigrate some venerable, valuable institutions of the church, and for them that doctorate was the last straw. On May 25, while Pope John XXIII was dying, Rome's Sacred Congregation of Seminaries and Universities issued an instruction that would require Catholic universities to get clearance from Rome before awarding honorary degrees. The author of the decree is believed to be Archbishop Dino Staffa, who is the chief assistant to Giuseppe Cardinal Pizzardo, the congregation's conservative prefect...
...relative humidity less than 35%), and in moist air (65% or over). They languish and die in the middle zone. So the St. Louis researchers recommend keeping the humidity control on operating-room air conditioners at the 50% evel-a setting that is best for operat-ng personnel, worst for germs, and moist enough to minimize the ever-present danger of anesthetic explosions from static electricity...
...THEOLOGY. No theologian himself, John XXIII had an open mind about the work of such forward-looking Catholic thinkers as Tubingen's Hans Küng and Innsbruck's Karl Rahner; in his encyclicals he tried to find a new, less austere language of teaching that would speak to modern man. Montini, trained in the ways of scholastic thought, is more conservative by temperament, yet also seems to be tolerant toward the new. Through Augustin Cardinal Bea, he notified Scriptural scholars at the Pontifical Biblical Institute and Gregorian University that there would be no more arbitrary monita (warnings...
...ROMAN CATHOLICS: Barth believes that thanks to Pope John XXIII "we are witnessing a complete reinterpretation of Roman Catholic dogma. The thoughts expounded by Hans Kűng and other modern theologians in Germany, Holland, France and elsewhere are no longer views of a small spearhead minority, but form the very ground swell of Catholic renovation." It would be "terrible if the Pope died now," but the trend of Catholic thinking "looks to me irreversible." Barth scoffs at the widespread Protestant view that Rome is at last catching up with the Reformation churches, says "it might well be that...
