LOOK UP AND LIVE (CBS, 10:30-11 a.m.). Freedom inside and outside the Roman Catholic Church is discussed by a leading layman and two Jesuit theologians, Father John Courtney Murray and Austria's Father Karl Rahner...
Rushing Toward Schism. In public, Pope Paul made unmistakably clear his admiration and friendship for such council progressives as Belgium's Leo Josef Cardinal Suenens, and even gave open praise to Fathers Yves Congar and Karl Rahner, two council theologians whose ideas are intensely disliked by the Curia. But the Pope also seems to have found himself more a prisoner of the Curia than John ever was-and he apparently decided that he cannot afford to alienate its powerful conservatives by acting strongly against them. As an administrator, Pope Paul proved to have a common failing of the intellectual...
...lifetime. In recent years, three of France's finest theologians-Jesuit Henri de Lubac and Dominicans Yves Congar and M. D. Chenu-have been temporarily relieved from teaching posts and forced to submit their writings to the Holy Office for special censorship. Last year Austrian Jesuit Karl Rahner was required to submit all future writings to his superior in Rome for clearance, a restriction since lifted; Father John Courtney Murray of the U.S. was advised not to write any more on his special field of study, church-state relations. "In the Catholic Church of the 20th century...
...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.

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...
Ironically, Rahner at the moment is in no position to assist in this theological task. Last July, despite strenuous objections from his friends in the Austrian and German hierarchies, the Holy Office ordered him to submit all future writings for clearance by his Jesuit superiors in Rome. Since then, Rahner has written no new theological work; friends say that he will not speak out again until the ban is lifted...
