Pope John opened the Council on October 11, 1962 in a public session before the Council Fathers as well as representatives of 86 governments and international bodies.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 The Consilium de Emendanda Ecclesia was a report commissioned by Pope Paul III on the abuses in the Catholic Church in 1536 . The commission appointed to review the abuses in the church was presided over by Gasparo Contarini Gasparo Cardinal Contarini and consisted of eight additional cardinal Catholicism cardinals Girolamo Aleandro , Tommaso Badia , Giovanni Pietro Carafa the later Pope Paul IV , Gregorio Cortese , Federigo Fregoso , Gianmatteo Giberti , Reginald Pole , and Jacopo Sadoleto . Their finished report was read to Paul III on 9 March 1537. It dealt mainly with the fiscal abuses of the papacy . Paul III accepted the recommendations but did not commit himself to any immediate changes. The confidential report was published illegally in 1538 and enjoyed a wide circulation. Martin Luther published a German version, completed with sarcastic side margins. Johannes Sturm approached the Consilium more seriously, applauding the effort made by the Catholic Church to abolish some of its most pressing abuses, but showing great concern whether the church could revitalisize itself without giving greater importance to the Gospel . The Consilium de emendanda ecclesia was never put into effect, although many of the proposed changes were implemented in later reforms.

N. 10279 2006 Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts, Vatican City, 13 March 2006 ref Such an act of defection is different in both cause and effect from excommunication . Procedure The Catholic Church in Germany and some other countries previously treated as such an act the declaration that some made to the civil authorities for the purpose of avoiding the extra tax traditionally collected by the state for the benefit of whatever Church the tax payer was a member of. The Church in those countries considered people who made this declaration as no longer entitled to the privileges of membership of the Church, such as having a wedding in church.
