Dissedent Theologians Not Welcome At World Youth Day
Joachim Cardinal Meisner of Cologne says that dissident theologians Eugen Drewermann or Hans Küng are not welcome at the World Youth Day event.
Catholic News Agency reports.
“There is nothing for them (Küng and Drewermann) here, as young people are not interested in the silliness they fostered for so long. We don’t need any Drewermann or Küng or anything else stale at WYD,” Cardinal Meisner added.
Both Drewermann and Küng have criticized WYD, calling it “triumphalism,” and a dissident group has hinted it might bring both theologians to a parallel event.
Cardinal Meisner also noted that the gathering in Cologne “will be the first to have the special presence of two Popes, one from above, and the other from here below in the world.” “I desire that all those who arrive here return home happier than when they came, and that we here are all happier and more satisfied afterwards than when we welcomed them in,” he said.
