Catholic theologian preaches revolution to end church's 'authoritarian' rule

Hans Küng urges confrontation from the grassroots to unseat pope and 
force radical reform at Vatican


One of the world's most prominent Catholic theologians has called for a 
revolution from below to unseat the pope and force radical reform at the 
Vatican.

Hans Küng is appealing to priests and churchgoers to confront the 
Catholic hierarchy, which he says is corrupt, lacking credibility and 
apathetic to the real concerns of the church's members.

In an exclusive interview with the Guardian, Küng, who had close contact 
with the pope when the two worked together as young theologians, 
described the church as an "authoritarian system" with parallels to 
Germany's Nazi dictatorship.
