...Committee, which was directed to draw up position papers on such issues as poverty, the morality of public demonstrations, conscientious objection and the recruitment of Negro priests (of whom there were none at the convention). Other groups will examine the feasibility of popular election of bishops, the liberalization of canon law and, of course, celibacy...
...music was at its most kinetic. At times his registration was somewhat arbitrary and misconceived, such as in the third movement of the Sonata in A, where he played the basso continuo left hand on the more loudly voiced manual, and the more important right hand line (in canon with the violin) on the softer one.

Though some Popes have been ousted in the distant past, present canon law contains no provision for deposing a Pope, even if he should become physically or mentally incapacitated. But, writes Kung, "the idea that the Pope is the servant of the church must be extended to include the possibility of the Pope's having to resign or being deposed...
