DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED Liturgy Text Returned To Commission VATICAN CITY.-The Ecumenical Council's discussions on a draft text concerning Divine Revelation brought out some major differences of opinion among the Council Fathers. The text was discussed during several consecutive general congregations of the Council, including the 19th through 22nd. Some Council participants demanded that
the text be dropped completely and that a new one be substituted for it.
