I’ve not read the commentaries yet, other than Küng’s own essay on the background to and hermeneutical/methodological principles of the writing of the document. The declaration reads of its time in ways good and bad… “cringe,” as the kids say. But only a little cringe. We could all do with more earnestness and less cynicism, lo these thirty-plus years later. It is a pretty remarkable document, and it still cries out to be developed in detail, in both theory and especially practice.
