...chances for political change unfortunately also make clear the need for a thorough going transformation. Of course, there can be no stinting of political effort on foreign policy issues like El Salvador.

That is being read as a signal that John Paul wants the Jesuits to shape up before the election of a new leader. As a result, no one in Rome sees a replacement for the Dezza-Pittau administration until at least 1983 and perhaps years beyond that...
