I mentioned in a previous post a couple of days back that the new Pope had in his previous role given Hans Kung a good metaphorical and doctrinal kicking. So I think that it is significant that said theologian writes irenically of Benedict XVI "Theologian Hans K�ng, also writing in Corriere, adds: 'He is conservative but maybe that will change. Experience tells us that we have to wait. Some people enter into the post as conservatives but then become progressive, and vice versa.'"
I am challenged by the humility and grace of this comment and feel suitably chastened. Thank you Hans for demonstrating a proper Christian attitude to those who 'despitefully use you'.
