He agreed that bishops share church authority both "with" and "under" the Pope, but insisted that modern times require decision-making in a spirit of cooperation and co-responsibility. The Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano and legalistic defenders of the status quo who see the bishops' authority as only "under" the Pope, Suenens said, in effect equate absolutism with orthodoxy...
