Roman Catholic theologian Hans Küng, in his influential engagement with Karl Barth’s doctrine of justification, went so far as to assert that the remaining differences are only imaginary: “Protestants speak of a declaration of justice and Catholics of a making just. But Protestants speak of a declaring just which includes a making just; and Catholics of a making just which supposes a declaring just. Is it not time to stop arguing about imaginary differences?”
