Yesterday's Tribune had a good-sized article about a tete-a-tete between Pope Benedict and Hans Kung. It sounded as though the two had had a really warm discussion, and the official Vatican statement released about the meeting had been written by the Pope himself, while Kung said he concurred with every word. I don't know that it has ever happened before that a Pope met personally and privately with someone who had been stripped of his credentials as a Catholic theologian. It is a marvelous sign of our Holy Father's openness of heart and mind. Even Kung seemed impressed. I'd like to see more about this, but so far don't have the time to look it up. Links, anyone?
