Not only that, but he was 93. Both of those facts are worth mentioning to people who resist the fact that everyone under 55 or even 60 refuses to believe that the Church was founded in the 1960s, and is instead interested in Catholicism.
In his attitude to Saint John Paul II's Polishness, Küng was the voice of the age-old Teutonic racism against the Slavs, but he got away with it by being Swiss. That, though, is now the past. We may safely say that it is never going to be Saint Hans of Tübingen.
Things like the RE Establishment and the Diocesan Safeguarding Offices, you have never read him, you have never even heard of him, yet you deserve to be told as often as possible: Hans Küng is dead.
