Cardinal Bertone criticizes honorary degree for Hans Küng

Genoa, Nov. 10 (CWNews.com) - Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone of Genoa, Italy, has criticized a state university for awarding an honorary degree to dissident theologian Hans Küng.

Writing in the Genoa archdiocesan newspaper, the cardinal said that Küng's view of the faith transforms Christianity into "an incoherent pluralism, a mixture of elements stripped of any orientation toward the spiritual center which alone can guarantee true Catholicism: a conscious union with the universal magisterium of the Church."

Hans Küng continues to deny the teachings of the Church. The penalty for his actions: he can no longer be considered a Catholic theologian. However, he stills considers himself to be one as do many other professed Catholics.
