Catholics Plan Third Ecumenical Council Speeds Work
Vatican sources said commissions of the Roman Catholic Ecumenical Council took steps that could speed the council's work though it remains unclear if the third session will be the last. The council recessed December 4 and will reconvene September 14, while drafting commissions shorten topics and the coordination commission met three times with a fourth planned. Pope Paul VI guided reductions of lengthy topics such as priestly duties, religious orders, the Oriental rite churches, seminarist formation, and Catholic schools and universities.
