Date Posted: 04:59:32 04/20/02 Sat Around 1948, Pope Pius XII, at the request of the staunchly orthodox Cardinal Ruffini, considered calling a general council and even spent a few years making the necessary preparations. There is evidence that progressive elements in Rome eventually dissuaded Pius XII from bringing it to realization since this council showed definite signs of being in sync with Humani Generis. Like this great 1950 encyclical, the new council would combat "false opinions which threaten to undermine the foundations of Catholic doctrine." Tragically, Pope Pius XII became convinced that he was too advanced in years to shoulder this momentous task, and he resigned himself to the idea that "this will be for my successor." PERHAPS THE NEXT POPE WILL UNDERTAKE WHAT POPE PIUS XII FELT WAS TOO MUCH FOR HIM? http://homepage.ntlworld.com/j.caughey [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
