Hans Kung
A human person is infinitely precious and must be unconditionally protected.
Hans Kung
For many people, the pope is still, to a certain extent, a positive role model and a moral force, although others feel that this aspect has suffered greatly.
Hans Kung
I'm not saying goodbye to life because I'm a misanthropist or disdain this life, but because, for other reasons, it's time to move on.
Hans Kung
But I have to add - and this answers your other question - this catholicity in time and in space is only meaningful for me if there is, at the same time, a concentration on the Gospel.
Hans Kung
The Gospel has to be the norm.
Hans Kung

Hans Kung
There will be peace on earth when there is peace among the world religions.
Hans Kung

Hans Kung
In the last resort, a love of God without love of humanity is no love at all.
Hans Kung
We are conscious that religions cannot solve the economic, political and social problems of this earth.
Hans Kung
I like the catholicity in time: our tradition is one of 2,000 years.
Hans Kung
Alluding to hell is a warning that a person can completely neglect his purpose in life. I don't believe in an eternal hell.
Hans Kung
There will be no peace among the nations without peace among the religions. There will be no peace among the religions without dialogue among the religions.
Hans Kung
The Epistle to the Romans is an extremely important synthesis of the whole theology of St. Paul.
Hans Kung
After two world wars, the collapse of fascism, nazism, communism and colonialism and the end of the cold war, humanity has entered a new phase of its history.
