Fair use rationale for Image:Cardinalwalterkasper.jpg

Image:Cardinalwalterkasper.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Article is incomplete

Walter Kasper does have a number of books published, mostly on Theology, and there is no reference to this in the article. I will do my best to expand that part with the help of the German language Wikipedia.Mistico (talk) 18:05, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Theologian to Pope Francis

The assertion "Kasper, generally recognized as the pope's theologian" was added in 2015 to Elizabeth Johnson (theologian). It is sourced from what is clearly labeled as an op-ed commentary on the theguardian.com which printed:

I [Sadhbh Walshe, the author,] spoke this week with Sister Simone Campbell, [...] ¶
[...] Campbell says she believes the pope does support the sisters' goals, even if he can't (or won't) come out and say it directly. She pointed out that Cardinal Kasper, who is generally known as the pope's theologian, came out in support of the LCRW's work during a speech at Fordham University in New York this week. [...]

I cannot find a reliable Catholic source for an assertion that either "Kasper, generally recognized as the pope's theologian" or "Kasper, who is generally known as the pope's theologian". –BoBoMisiu (talk) 14:42, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

The nun you quoted is known for her dissident opinions concerning Roman Catholic doctrine and without any RS we can't add any of her claims to the entry. Interestingly Kasper fully opposes women ordination. Mistico (talk) 00:50, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

St Gallen Group

I've not seen any evidence that suggests Kasper identified as being a member of the so-called St. Gallen group. Nor that this group is significant enough to merit the addition of a specific category entry. I've removed this category for now. I'd welcome thoughts. Contaldo80 (talk) 14:06, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

WP:BLP

I have removed part of the lede again per WP:BLP. No, inline citations are not necessary in the lede, but the content there needs to be just as WP:V as the content in the body; in fact the lede is a summary of the body and must introduce no new information that cannot already be found in the body. This removal repairs that violation of WP:BLP and WP:RS and WP:OR and WP:V. I welcome you to find a citation that supports the assertion. Shouldn't be difficult. 2600:8800:1880:91E:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 22:17, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Agreed. It stays out until we have some verifiable sources. Contaldo80 (talk) 08:23, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
