CO-ORDINATION OF ALL ELEMENTS
Interim Commission Compresses Work
V ATICAN CITY.—The co-ordinating commission of the Ecumenical Council has finished a week-long meeting here which promises to e xpedite the work of the second session of the council beginning on September 8. A ccording to Archbishop John J. Krol, one of the five under - secrctaraies of the presidency, the council commission set up a work programme for the interim period between the council's two sessions which gives every hope that the work scheduled for the second session will be effectively accomplished. The 15 cardinals were received in private audience by His Holiness Pope John XXIII in his study. For an hour and three-quarters the Pope heard the commission members informally discuss their decisions. Afterwards the Pope expressed his satisfaction with what they had done and repeated his wish that the council's work will wit h "organic continue unity and intensive rhythm."
Combine In a statement on the commission's work, Archbishop Krol told the N.C.WC. News Service that it had limited itself to co-ordinating elements that were found to be duplicated in the various projects submitted to the council by preparatory Commissions. He emphasised that the commission did not discuss the merits of the material in the projects and did not alter their substance. The commission's work, he said, was to combine what could be combined. He said the commission would recommend setting aside some details judged to be outside the scope of the council for publication in instructions and manuals, while preserving basic principles and directives for council decrees. All this had been done, he said, in consultation with the presidents of the ten council commissions and the Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity.
Error He corrected an error stating that the courall agenda would be reduced to 20 projects (first published in Spain). Ile explained that 20 topics had been found contained in the 79 projects. He said it could not be determined what the final reduction would be, but added It might be 20 or more. He gave the topic of vocations as an example of the "co-ordinations" that might be expected. This topic, he said, had been contained in five projects. It will be combined into a single topic, he said, while other topics in the same five projects may be combined into others. President of the co-ordinating commission is Amleto Cardinal Cicognani. Papal Secretary of State. The secretariat of the commission is made up of Archbishop
Pericle Felici, general secretary of the Ecumenical Council, and the council's five under-secretaries. The plan of the commission's work, as explained by Archbishop Krol, is that a number of projects has been assigned to each of the six cardinals who are members of the commission. They studied these in consultation with presidents the of council commissions and brought their findings to the meeting of the co-ordinating commission. The co-ordination of the elements that was decided on during the latter's meeting will continue until March 10, Archbishop Krol said. Then reports will be submitted on the action t aken. After the reports are reviewed and approved, they will be sent to the council Fathers in printed form around the middle of March with the request that comments on them be returned, by July 1. On the basis of the replies a final form of the "co-ordinated projects" will then be printed and be ready for the second session of the council.
