...leading European prelates, it was modified only slightly. During its preparation, said Vatican sources, Paul relied heavily on the advice of three exceptionally conservative prelates of the Roman Curia: Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani, 77, the retired former chief of the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith; Paris-born Archbishop Paul Phillipe, secretary of the congregation; and Bishop Carlo Colombo of Milan, Paul's personal theological adviser...
