Abstract

[The third sign of the church that is characteristic of its ontology is holiness. One of the starting points in Küng’s 1962 analysis of the holiness of the church is based on the observation that the church is truly holy when its decision in all matters is to follow spiritual things, not human interests such as partisan wishes or political interests.’ Thus, the church must not be lead by personal desires but by the revelation of God.2 This is also an indication that, for Küng, the church fundamentally belongs to God,3 so its essential being is closely and inseparably connected to the supernatural, metahistorical, and transcendent being of God, who is fundamentally Trinitarian.]
