(Combined NCWC News Service) VATICAN CITY — Pope Paul VI closed the second session of Vatican Council II with the dramatic announcement that he will make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in January. "After careful deliberations and much prayer, we have decided to become a pilgrim," he declared, because "we are so convinced that for the final and happy conclusion of this Council, prayers and good works are necessary." It will be the first time, he added, that a Supreme Pontiff has been in the Holy Land since St. Peter, the first Pope, left there for Rome after the death of Christ. The Holy Father also expressed the wish that Vatican Coun- cil II end with the next session, dates for which had previously been fixed as Sept. 14 to Nov. 20, 1964. The Pope suggested that thereafter, Council work be terminated in commissions, with the Bishops being summoned for final ceremonies for the promulgation of the Council's total decrees. As the more than 2.200 Fathers of the Council departed for their home dioceses throughout the world, these were some of the developments in the closing week's sessions: • The constitution on liturgy and the decree on com- munications media were overwhelmingly approved at the final session Dec. 4, and Pope Paul then immediately promulgated them. • America's Bishops announced formal agreement "to make full use o£ the vernacular concessions made by the Council" and directed their Commission on the Liturgical Apostolate "to propose English translations" which they will consider in the Spring after Pope Paul issues instructions Feb. 16, 1964 as to when and how norms of the liturgy constitution are to be carried out. "Only then can a date be determined by the Bishops for the actual use of English in the liturgy," they said. • Pope Paul granted 40 faculties to bishops of dioceses in his motu proprio, "Pastoral Munus," promulgated Dec. 3. Most of them meaningless to the general body of Catholics, they have particular importance for diocesan chancery offices, reliev- ing them of making a special request each time the faculties are needed. • Council Fathers were assured at their last working ses- sion that the two chapters of the schema on ecumenism on relations with the Jews and on freedom of conscience are still live issues and will be among first items on the agenda for next Fall. • Elected to additional posts on Council commissions were (Continued On Page 2) Bishop Carroll Is Received In Audience By Pope Paul Special To The Voice tini in the Secretariate of State for many years.
