Eminence,
I send you herewith the points I have for consideration by the Ecumenical Council:
1. Ut extensio privilegii paulini exploretur, in integrum redigatur, clarificetur et, in quantum potest, ut extendatur.
2. Ut in Missa, lingua vernacula a sacerdote utatur usque ad Canonem.
3. Ut breviarium lingua vernacula recitetur.
1. That the extension of the Pauline privilege be explored, completely redacted, clarified, and, as much as possible, extended.
2. That in the Mass, the vernacular be used by the priest up to the Canon.
3. That the breviary be recited in the vernacular.
I am, Eminence,
Most respectfully yours, in Our Lord,
+ JOHN REDDINGTON
Bishop of Jos
