The Telegraph posts an article about Hans Kung which is nothing more than a rehash of his constant complaints...

Pope Benedict attacked by Catholic Church’s most senior theologians

One of the Catholic Church’s most senior theologians, and former mentor to Pope

Benedict XVI, has launched a stinging attack on the Vatican.
Father Hans Küng, 80, a Swiss priest and professor at Tübingen university said it was a “tragedy” for the Catholic Church that Rome had failed to follow the path of liberalisation set out by the Vatican II council in 1965.

I'm not certain than any faithful Catholic would dare suggest that Kung is one of the Church's "most senior theologians" unless he was referring to his 'age' - it certainly isn't doctrinal fidelity.

And where did Vatican 2 establish a "path of liberalisation"? This is what can happen when one fails to read, with the mind of the Church, the documents of any council. It's no different, really, than reading Scripture. He who reads the Scriptures after dismissing the Church's (or the Fathers') understanding can easily succumb to error or erroneous interpretations - as evidenced by the thousands upon thousands of 'Sola Scriptura' denominations. Kung seems to be no different in this regard.

...In an interview with La Repubblica, however, he said: “Rome continues to block every sort of renewal, and is blocking any ecumenical unification with the protestant and orthodox churches. This pope has made serious mistakes.”

Kung, a pope in his own mind - we need to pray for him and for those who minds and hearts have been infected by his dissent, pride and rebellion.
