About Hans Küng

Hans Küng is a Swiss Catholic priest and professor emeritus of ecumenical theology at the University of Tübingen. Küng was a principal architect of the theological agenda of the Second Vatican Council, but is a controversial figure in Catholic theology today for his acceptance of euthanasia and his rejection of papal infallibility. Since 1979, he has not been permitted to teach as a Roman Catholic theologian, but he has retained his priestly faculties and continued to teach ecumenical theology until his retirement in 1996. He is president of the Foundation for a Global Ethic and author of many works, including Signposts for the Future: Contemporary Issues facing the Church, My Struggle for Freedom: Memoirs, and Great Christian Thinkers.
