Hans Kung quotes
A human person is infinitely precious and must be unconditionally protected.

I am evangelical and am for a continual reform of the Church, which was affirmed by the Second Vatican Council.
I like most that I belong to the whole universal comprehensive Catholic church and that it is not just a national church.
