Edited sentence: Before anyone lionizes him, one should soberly reflect he took The Oath Against Moderdism prior to and at his ordination, and then promptly shattered that oath for the rest of his life through his writings.If Karl Rahner is credited with the accomplishments of Vatican II,since his argumentrs prevailed at the Council, so too he must be held responsible for the present taste of the Church: Empty churches, elimination of Religious Orders,loss of belief among Catholics in the Sacrificial nature of the Mass,conviction among Catholics that one religion is as another, belief among Catholics there are no ojective truths, conviction among Catholic theologian that truth evolves and hence papal encyclicals can be and should be ignored; in short, Karl Rahner did more to destroy the Roman Catholic Church than any one in the 20th Century.To characterize such a man as a great theologian, is to affirm that oaths are meaningless and the only truths that can be embraced are the novelties set forth by this oath breaker.mh:Karl Rahner
