Kueng, Hans

I am 1/3rd the way through Father Kueng's book on Infallibility. It seems to be chiefly a gripe about the failure of the curia to appreciate Father Kueng. I wonder that thoughtful Germans do not realize that to "outsiders" of our time, there must be some account, or awareness, of the happenings in Germany under the Nazis. The "Lutheran" spirit was sucked into that turmoil to which it had no answer. Father Kueng does reveal the connection between the Lutheran resistance to the dogma of infallibility and the resistance to the homage to the Blessed Virgin. Strange that this so frightens them. It sounds like a case of being "woman-shy".
