this letter, Mr Kung has also re-suspend something
"Dear Brothers in the Episcopate
(I feel) that urged me to you, dear Brothers, to send a clarifying word to help to understand the intentions that me and the competent have led institutions of the Holy See (the lifting of excommunications). I hope to contribute in this way to peace in the church.
A not for me predictable breakdown was that the lifting of the excommunication was superimposed on the Williamson case. The silent gesture of mercy ... suddenly appeared as something quite different: as a rejection of the Christian-Jewish reconciliation ... That this superposition of two opposing processes has occurred and has disturbed the peace between Christians and Jews as well as peace in the church for a moment, I can only deeply regret. I hear that attentive tracking of the Internet to access news would have allowed time to obtain knowledge of the problem. I learn from this that we need the Holy See on this news source in the future, be watchful of. Saddens me that even Catholics who could know better, ready to leap with hostility to turn me to have to have believed ...
A further breakdown, which I honestly regret, is that limit and range of action of 21 1. 2009 not been on publication of the process shown clearly enough. The excommunication affects people, not institutions ... The solution of the excommunication was an action in the area of church discipline: The people were of the burden of conscience the most severe ecclesiastical penalty, free ... As long as the doctrinal issues are not resolved, the Society has no canonical status in the church and as long as the performance of their public officials, even if they are free of the canonical penalty, no legal offices in the Church.
Given this situation, I intend to take the Pontifical Commission "Ecclesia Dei" ... connect in the future with the CDF. This should be clear that the problems to be addressed now are much more doctrinal in nature, in particular the adoption of the Second Vatican Council and the post-conciliar Magisterium of the Popes concern. The collegial bodies with which the Congregation of the questions that may occur, ... guarantee the inclusion of the prefect of various Roman congregations and the world episcopate in the decisions to be felled. You can use the teaching authority of the Church does not freeze in 1962 - that the Brotherhood must be very clear. But some of those who excel as a great defender of the council, must be also recalled that the Second Vatican Council with the whole teaching of the Church history in itself. Who wants to be obedient to him, must accept the faith of centuries and can not cut the roots from which the tree lives ...
People to God, to live in the Bible is God speaking, the supreme and fundamental priority of the church and the Peter's successor in that time. From it is then obvious that we must go for the unity of believers ... Thus, when the struggle for faith, the hope and love in the world the true priority for the Church at this hour ... represents, at least among the small and medium-sized reconciliations with it. That the quiet gesture of a proffered hand to a great noise, and has become just the opposite of reconciliation, we must take note. But now I ask: Was and is it really wrong here to go to meet his brother, "who has something against you" and to try reconciliation (cf. Mt 5, 23f)? Must not the civilian Society are trying to forestall radicalization ...? It may be quite wrong to seek to resolve tensions and constrictions and to give the space, which is found to be positive and add to the whole? ...
Certainly, we have ... many discords of representatives of this community is - arrogance and condescension, fixation in one-sided, etc. into ... But should the United Church can not be generous in knowledge about the staying power it has, in the knowledge of the promise that is given to her? ... Sometimes one gets the impression that our society needs at least one group who needs to make inquiries of no tolerance; to be allowed to quietly go with hatred. And who they dared to touch - in this case the Pope - was also deprived themselves of the right to tolerance and could also be considered with fear and hatred without restraint ...
The Lord preserve us all and lead us to the path of peace ...: Livre noir
