Rome AMthorities Expect

Second Vatican Council T@ B~~omJ N'ext Fall

VATICAN CITY (NC)-The Second Vatican Council will probably begin in the Autumn of 1962 although the papal bull convoking the council set no date for its opening, according to Vatican observers. They pointed out that it will be impossible for the WInter. Autumn would be the eouncil to be held next more likely time because the Spring' because the prepar- WOl k would commence' before atory work for it has not the rainy and cold winter season

It was because of the preparatory work yet to be done that Pope John specified only the yel1r in which the council will be held, the observers stated.

sets in. No announcement has been made on what non-Catholic rep_ resentatives will be invited as observers at the council. But P')pe John alluded to this aspect in his papal bull of Christmas Df.lY convoking the council. In appealing for prayers for the council's success, he stated: "To this chorus of prayers We invite also all Christians of churches separated from 'Rome, that the council may be also to their advantage." After expressing the belief that "many of these sons are anxious for a return of unity and' of peace," the Pope added: ~'Arid Turn to Page Eighteen
