One Mad Mom on the liberal reaction to the death of the heretic, Hans Küng.
From One Mad Mom
Hans Kung is dead. May God’s infinite mercy have illuminated him in his last days and may he rest in peace. But people, heresy is not what you want on your soul when you die and we have nothing to determine it wasn’t. And before you think this was my determination, nope, sorry, the Vatican declared this wayyyyy back when.
(If you’re new to Hans Kung, this long dissertation will give you some ideas on his errors. https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/library/historical-credibility-of-hans-kung-10078)
Honestly, Miss Manners should have done a column on this.
If you truly loved dear Hans, literary canonization is not kind to his soul. Stating what the Church said about him would be the kindest thing for his soul. That might move more to pray for him if one still believes in Heaven, Hell and Purgatory.
So when I see tweets like this, it makes me sad. Emphasis mine. https://twitter.com/rightscholar/status/1379534915558121472

I don’t know, maybe give it a day before starting the heresy takes. What I have read of Hans Küng impressed me—he was an important thinker. I don’t agree with his take on papal authority, but he pointed to some problems that are still very relevant and largely unexamined.
Gee, D.W., I’m so glad that you don’t agree with his take on papal authority BECAUSE IT WAS HERETICAL! Geez. It wasn’t some minor little transgression. He was stripped of his right to teach by the Vatican who declared he could no longer be considered a Catholic theologian. So you know what should be done? Well, he should very much be identified as a heretic, definitely not an important thinker or a Catholic theologian. Incredible.
Does this matter to the regular dissenters? Nope. https://twitter.com/JamesMartinSJ/status/1379455825312382984

Breaking: German television is reporting that Hans Kung, a towering Catholic theologian and frequent critic of the church, has died at 93. May he rest in peace.
Left out a little bit of info on Hans, Fr. Martin.
Dissenters are just going to keep pushing dissenters.
