I heard that Hans Kung, a Swiss theologian, was banned from teaching theology shortly after his important role concerning Vatican II.

What happened? Why was he banned?

I believe Fr. Hans Kung is not allowed to present himself as a “Catholic” theologian due to the serious questions he raises concerning the evolution of the papacy and the development of papal infallibility. But Fr. Kung is still a priest in good standing and is still able to teach theology. His scholarship and participation at the Second Vatican Council is still highly respected among Catholic theologians and he continues to be an influence in the life of the Church. A lot of folks don’t like this and have very low opinions of Hans Kung, some even believing he has been excommunicated, but there you have it. He is not excommunicated and continues to write and theologize today.
