...relative timidity of Jesuit leadership in the years since restoration has not meant the eclipse of Jesuit accomplishment. Contemporary Jesuit theologians, for instance, helped shape the Second Vatican Council. Probably the most eminent Catholic theologian alive is Germany's Jesuit Karl Rahner, whose works have been translated into more languages (47) than Goethe's. Canada's Bernard J.F. Lonergan has built a formidable reputation on two brilliant but difficult works, Insight (1957) and Method in Theology (1972). A newer name, at least to Northern Hemisphere Christians, is Montevideo's Juan Luis Segundo, whose theology is just beginning to appear...
Some Catholic theologians including Moralist Bernard Haring have argued in recent years that they are part of the church's evolving magisterium, or teaching power. Theological Commission members-who range from Bishop Carlo Colombo, Pope Paul's favorite theologian, to progressives like Congar and German Jesuit Karl Rahner -now seem willing to accept a more tangential role.

...Book Co. by its parent firm, Germany's Verlag Herder, for an "undisclosed amount of cash." Publisher of the popular "Dutch Catechism" (400,000 copies) and more recently The Sex Book (125,000 copies), Herder & Herder has also given the U.S. top international theologians and philosophers, including Karl Rahner, Bernard Lonergan and Marxist Ernst Bloch. As a separate unit of McGraw-Hill, Herder & Herder will keep its colophon, expand its religious publishing and enlarge its editorial staff. Though some religious publishers have fallen on bad days, McGraw-Hill did not get a loser: Herder & Herder has been...
...Milan, helped write a statement for the Italian hierarchy declaring that it is impossible to support or spread Kűng's views "without separating oneself from the full communion of the church." More startlingly, Kűng's old friend and mentor, Jesuit Theologian Karl Rahner, doubted that a theologian with such opinions could still be considered a Catholic...
